I Think I Got Heart Problems With Propecia.

I used small amounts of propecia for a week and got sides but the thing that worried me was the pain I felt in the left chest. It got worse so I had to stop. Just from walking I was sweating like a pig and it felt as my heart would explode. But the pain wasn´t specifically just at the heart but the whole left chest so I´m wondering what causes this. If I can fix this problem I´ll probably try out propecia again.

Edit: The title should probably be: I think I get heart problems with propecia.

It likely had nothing to do with propecia. You may just have a heart problem, go see a doctor

There is no fix. I would stop using it, and just see if it happens again. If it doesnt go back on it and see what happens. If it happened twice I would personally just drop propecia. Your hair really isnt worth your health at least to me, others might disagree.

Im not gonna pretend like I know what is happening but I looked it up and it seems other people have experienced the same thing. Im very glad i tried propecia but its not the drug for me.

the most reasonable thing I have EVER read on this forum. f*** all you FAKE doctors with your, "propecia can't do that" garbage. You have absolutely ZERO medical experience.

so, for the last time, just suck a big fat f*****g dick already. please, just suck it. through a dirty glory hole in a gas station bathroom.

Just to report in for other users. Ive pretty much been bedridden for the past month. I was out for a couple of days and then when I came back I got this damn headache that won´t subside. I used to walk 4-6km a day but now I get tired, dizzy and so on from walking like 2km. Cognitive function and memory has gotten better but I think they are not as good because of the headache and the pressure I have in my head. Pain in my chest has gone down but I still feel some, usually when I move fast. Im sure ill be alright soon cuz I only used it for 9 days in total, if not ill visit the doctor. I dont really think is anything dangerous but its uncomfortable and I have sh*t to study.

To conclude I would say, if u use this drug and feel immediate side effects that are unbearable just quit.

... this is ridiculous. If I made a list of supposed side effects of finasteride it would contain every symptom know to man. Millions of people have taken finasteride and probably over 10000 have been part of a controlled study. I'm starting to think that logic has no place here

Maybe I've been hanging around too here much. See you guys in a year or so

It was anxiety and a panic attack. If it happens a lot then it turns into agoraphobia.

No im not depressed or have any kind of anxiety, Sometimes im worried but thats about it. While on propecia I did feel a kind of anxiety that ive never felt before. It was an unwillingness to go out publicly but I didnt let it bother me and it really didnt. This was very very minor and I only felt it for a day or two.

I went to the doctor and he said that im healthy and I should just wait out the symptoms. I agreed because ive started to feel better. The reason to why my pulse became high is probably because I have a sensitive heart, a healthy but sensitive heart. But it has stabilized somewhat and in a couple of weeks ill probably be able to walk again without my heartrate reaching over 100.

Mentally im not as sharp as i used to but atleast im not straight out retarded like the first month after quitting propecia.

If I didnt get any sides i wouldve continue using propecia.
