Rogaine side effects?

[adr]

Has anyone experienced palpitations/chest pain/shortness of breath using Rogaine or other forms of minoxidil (NOT oral, just the lotion)? I started having some of those symptoms (as well as a very annoying itching on the scalp). I stopped and the itching is gone--- maybe the palps too.
Very interested in any info on this. Thank you.

All of the above are pretty standard side effects of minoxidil. Check to make sure that you are not overdosing and perhaps cycle in at once a day until you tolerate it better!
