If you are experiencing heart beat changes with the 5%, you should stop it.

By using the 2%, the side effects might be less agravated or might even not occur.

I think if you feel fine with the 2% you should stick with it.... but make sure you don't experience any little disconfort what so ever.
but you better check you doctor.

I also use minoxidil, and would like to ask one question:

it took 1 year of minoxidil use before you experienced side effects? or did you feel any little changes on you heart beat from the begining of the treatment?
