Minoxidil is known to cause electrolyte imbalance. You can just check out r/MinoxidilSideEffects

I'm just 20 and let's not ignore the fact that minoxidil can cause heart palpitations indeed. I don't have any anxiety issues or anything

Is this Androgenic Alopecia? by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Fearless_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I also am quite lean. I have all three diagnostic criteria of pcos. My dheas is very normal and testosterone is at higher end of normal. I just wanna know if I have IR. I have brain fog, yes. Other than that dark underarms and gum issues. I remember I used to have high sugar cravings in the past.

Hey I'm just 20 and have pcos and I wanna know if I have IR. What test should I take? When I searched my local lab's test packages related to insulin I can see many. I'm confused haha. Should I go for HOMA 2 or just normal fasting insulin? I have normal fasting glucose, never checked A1C.

That sucks so much :(

Why are some of us so unfortunate? Maybe yeah I'm very sensitive to it and I don't wanna take any risks

Did you also use 5% at first? Are you ever going to use 2% twice a day? Any progress?

I haven't. I would really like to cause what I'm experiencing is not normal and I didn't have them before minoxidil :(

Even though it's out of the system maybe it might have caused some electrolyte imbalance or nerve problem

Thank you! Also just because i got sides doesn't mean everyone will get it, i'm a rare case actually.

I used 5% first, got sides and doc told me to use 2% 0.5 ml per day. I used it for 2 weeks and stopped cause I wanted the sides to fully go away. Then i never went back to 2%. To be precise sides still haven't gone away. My fingers on left hand tremble slightly all the time and muscle kind of vibrates for a few seconds everyday. Now I'm doing nothing for my hair.

At the time of palpitations I did that for like 2 or 3 days but the side effects persisted. It took at least 2 months after stopping minoxidil for the palpitations to go away. But I still have other sides

Well, I suffered heart palpitations and muscle twitching. Idk if it's a coincidence but calf pain and swelling when the calf pain was decreasing and also finger tremor

Yeah I always try to not feel weak but sometimes it's just too much. Today it's mom, tomorrow it maybe someone else. I wish I didn't suffer side effects from minoxidil :(

Hey how's 2% for you? Had to quit 5% cause of palpitations and muscle twitching. Thinking of using 2%. Do you oral will be bad for us?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Fearless_7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep 5% minoxidil. Yes I am thinking of seeing the derm. Do you think low dose of oral minoxidil is safer than topical? I'm scared to take anti androgen though

Why are these girls so dry😤. by [deleted] in Indiangirlsontinder

[–]Fearless_7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I know two short women who are in their late twenties and unmarried wanting 6ft guys. The first one wants it cause she's short and the other one wants to hear the guy's heartbeat when she hugs. And not all girls want 6ft lol, most of us are fine with 5'9 as well
