Hello,
I have been using minoxidil for almost a year now. I use it once a day at the most. Well, for a week now I have been feeling lousy. My symptoms are heart heaviness (hopefully that makes sense to you), can't sleep much (sleep for three hours at night then wake up and can't go back to sleep), slight headache and neck ache, fatigue and brain cloudiness, slight facial swelling. I always get the swelling however ever since I started). I also occasaionally pop a very low dose of Finasteride (last dose one month ago. Have really terrible sides on it so that is the reason I only pop a low dose only once every couple months). Well, today I used my fathers blood pressure measuring device and it said my BP is 124/47. I took my BP 2 more times and right around the same numbers every time. Should I be nervous? Do you think it's the minoxidil? My last application was 3 days ago (I don't take it Thurs-Sat as mentioned it makes my face swell). I was invited to a party tonight but i'm worried the alcohol may lower my BP even more. Seriously, i'm tired and could really use some sleep but it's like my heart won't allow it as it feels uncomfortable if that makes any sense to you?! Sorry so long. Can anyone please offer some feedback? What should I do? -Tim ps I am a 31 year old male
