I Broke the Mystery of Male Pattern Baldness
Heart palpitation is scary but hearing your heart is not palpitation. Palpitation is a series of untimed quick heart beats. Do a quick reading on palpitations at Wikipedia. Here
There are other less effective treatments though.
How would you describe the hair loss: Is it receding at the front? Is it disfusion or thinning at the top or top rear?
How long did you try Rogaine/minoxidil and how often did the palpitations occur? What's your height and weight? Do you have hypertension?
Do you sit for hours on the job? Does it involve a lot of analysis and thinking or does it require you to have a steady hand and eyes or involved in design?
Do you experience stress or does you job involve deadlines or critical decision making? Or do you have to deal with nasty people while on the job? Are there issues at home or mortgages?
Do you drink milk or coffee or tea. If so, how often. How would you decribe your diet in general?

Yeah the beAts were just louder and a little faster than usual. And since i didnt take my dose today it has went away. I was taking 2 ml of 5% a day. I was on t for two weeks.
My hair loss is thinning throughout my head but it is not too noticeable yet but i cqn definitely tell i am losing it. I have another post on here titled please help with picures from a week or two ago.
My blood pressure is sometimes a little high once in a while. I am 5"8 and weigh 220.
At work i am cnstantly busy and i am always moving around and being stressed out is common

Thanks for the detailed reply. You've ruled out the most effective treatments.
Remove all dairy products from you diet. Dairy consumption is associated with prostate cancer development which is associated with male pattern baldness. There is no study to prove that removing dairy will stop hair loss but at least its a logical assumption.
Coffee and tea are good. Tea is much better four to six cups a day. There is no assurance that these drinks will prevent hair loss but they may help and they will definitely help preventing prostate cancer development. Coffee is also found to blunt stress.
Obesity (abdominal) is associated with hair loss but there is no study to prove the losing weight prevents it. It's only a logical assumption that losing weight may help prevent hair loss.
But never try losing weight drastically and my advice is to seek the help of a professional.

Stress is implicated in the development of cardio/coronary conditions (CVDs). A similar set of CVDs is associated with male pattern baldness. It's a logical assumption that by addressing stress issues may help your hair loss.
Addressing these issues may help but the efficacy will vary from forn person to another.
You said "constantly busy and i am always moving around and being stressed out is common"
Could you expound on those a bit more.

There are good reports on many treatments. s5 and copper peptides are among them including Nizoral. I wouldn't know about efficacy rates though. Some have had good results. Just like you did with Rogaine, you should be very observant on any result particularly after four months of using them.
You should also massage your scalp every night before going to bed and again in the morning specially if you wear your hair short and if you don't brush it often. I use a dry soft towel to massage mine to mimic brushing.
what do you do when you're not at work?
