Anyone hear that’s used Rogaine experience any odd side effects?

specifically low blood pressure or an erratic heart rate?

Both hypotension and palpitations are possible side effects, albeit rare. Talk to your provider. Also I was gonna say unwanted hair growth, kek.

I stopped using it for 24 hours and already my symptoms improved.
Plan on going a couple more days without it to see if symptoms return, if they do anyways, I’m going straight to the doctor

Let it go. I've been bald since I was 18

Yeah, I've been thinning since my 20's. I just embrace it now.

Unrelated, as I mentioned a while back, I had an abscess on my hip that put me in a hospital overnight. It opened and drained (which is how these things have worked for me in the past), and usually the next step is the remaining structure dissolves. Which was good since they discovered a mass on my left kidney, which they said wasn't a dire emergency but was going to need an eventual partial nephrectomy to get rid of. So we slated that for July. Gives me a few months to get all the work I want to get done finished that I won't be able to do while recovering.

Except that the abscess just decided to take a second run at me (first time this has ever happend), so now I have to get a procedure done to remove the sac from that and will be recovering from that, then have a short gap then another surgery. This year is going to suck.

I enjoy cosplay, so I’d prefer to use my own hair rather than shelling out for wigs if possible

also, when I shave my head, I look like Shel Silverstein on the back cover of The Giving Tree

Edit: but I’d rather have a healthy heart than a full head of hair, I’d gladly go bald if it meant having a good heart

Man I had the worst abscess years ago. Maybe documented in this thread even. Like 11/10 pain for weeks. When it finally drained the sac actually came right out of the hole. I have a permanent scar in the area and a bald spot (it was my taint)

Well the good news is it isn’t Rogaine causing my erratic heart beat, but the bad news is I don’t know what’s causing it. Currently in the ER

edit: I just pray that the doctor says “the good news is you didn’t have a heart attack”
