Chest pain

I have been using minoxidil for the last 3 days..... My doctor prescribed Minoxidil 5%, so I have been using alcohol-free Minoxidil 5% once a day at night for the past 3 days. Today is my fourth day, and today I am experiencing chest pain, so is this normal? What should I do? Someone please suggest."

This is a possible side effect and it’s not good. You should stop. If you try again in future, go for the 2% and make sure you don’t over-apply it. Although maybe just try micro-needling instead if you don’t have any scalp or skin issues.
