Good evening H-L-T,
Three months ago I started a low dose of oral minoxidil (four drops under the tongue of kirkland) and gradually increased the dosage to twelve drops which I believe I've read is around 5mg. Early sides included dark circles around the eyes, watery bags under the eyes, and headaches all of which have subsided considerably. Hypertrichosis began around after a month.
I also have panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder which results in heart palpitations, panic attacks, and a racing heart - I take venlafaxine for this. My question is at around three months into oral minoxidil I have begun to notice occasional episodes of discomfort in my chest, feeling like my heart is weak and struggling. I am not sure if this is from anxiety or from the oral minoxidil.
Does anyone have any insight into whether this could be the result of the oral minoxidil? Has anyone experienced something similar? Does anyone else have anxiety symptoms and is trying to discern the difference between them and possible oral minoxidil sides?
Thanks for the input,
