Does rogaine 2% have fewer sides than rogaine 5%
Simply put, I used rogaine foam 5% and experienced sporadic rapid heartbeat after the first use and by the fourth use quit using it altogether as that side effect was jus too much. I still want to be able to use minoxidil so does anyone have experience of not seeing side effects using 2% as opposed to having sides on the 5%?

I too used the 5% foam for a few weeks but quit due to chest pains. Ive heard a bunch of guys say the 2% has a much lower risk of having any sides but is only 1/2 as effective as the 5%. Were you applying it to wet hair? Something about the scalp being wet or just out of a shower causes more minox absorption thus greater risk of sides

I know this might sound like a stupid question. what would happen If you experience chest pains because of minoxidil/rogaine but never stop?
I experience chest pains but wasn't sure what is causing it. Is it the alcohol that I'm consuming on Fridays and Saturdays, the pre-workout creatine called N.O. explode, or minox liquid foam/rogaine?
My chest pain comes and goes and I've experience it for quite a while.

Hi dex, so did you end up sticking with the minox. It has recently been giving me chest pain lately to and i have had to quit.
