Hi, first post, but I’ve been lurking here for a few months. I’ve been using Rogaine foam for about three weeks now. So far it’s been great, with no bad effects… until a couple of days ago. I’m getting heart palpitations. It’s a little scary, but mostly annoying. I’m 37, great health, no history of heart problems, last full physical two years ago. Does this normally go away? I apply twice a day per directions. I mostly notice the palpitations at night in bed, just after my final application. I use relaxation techniques to try and bring it down with some success.
I’m just wondering how concerned I should be. Thanks in advance for any responses.

what is the shed like when switching from rogaine liquid to the foam?
» what is the shed like when switching from rogaine liquid to the foam?
I haven’t used the liquid in years. It irritated my scalp and made my hair greasy. The foam has no such effect thus far. When it dries, I comb it and it looks normal. I haven’t noticed any real shedding since using it, but I haven’t noticed any shedding to speak of since starting 2% Nirzoral a year ago. I noticed a marked decrease in my hair loss some time after using Nizoral. When I started, I wasn’t even using the Nizoral for hair loss, nor did I know it could help with hair loss.

Me too, last sleep, started on foam 1 week ago. Could not sleep. Have high BP, but checked it during the “sleep” but reading OK. The only thing else that might have caused it was a cup of tea 3 hrs prior. Felt like I had taken efferdrine(?).

Guys, this is definitely something you need to discuss with your doctor, and your internist (PCP), would be the place to start. Minoxidil has in fact been used initially in other applications for treating BP so it’s no surprise to hear of some patients experiencing those side-effects.
But you need to see your doc to be on the safe side. Your PCP may suggest to cut back the use to once per day or even discontinue the use of it with those adverse side-effects.
2% shampoo prescribed by my dermatologist. I’ve been using it sparingly for a year, originally for seb. dermatitis. I didn’t know about hair loss benefits when I started using it. I noticed not long after using it that there was a definite reduction in fallout. Could be from the nizoral, could be something else.
are you on a super hair vitamin or any internal dht blockers
Maxi-hair, amino max, msm, horsetail for a couple of months now. Just started beta sis and about to add pygeum and nettles. I don’t know how much the vitamins etc are responsible (it may even be too soon at only 2 months), but the appearance of my hair is very good. Within days of starting the maxi-hair, I definitely noticed more energy and better mental function. I think the megadoses of B vitamins in it are what helped. If that’s all I get from it, I’m happy.

I think my problem is caffeine. I had been drinking 2 cups of coffee in the morning, then a cup of tea later in the day. When I cut the tea, the problems went away. I drank too much coffee today, and the problems came back. I’m going to see my general practioner tomorrow to be safe.
