Minoxidil / Systemic effects / Revita

[fastv8]

I am one of those who unfortunately gets chest pains when I use topical minoxidil (actually, Xandrox by Dr. Lee). I used to apply it and keep it on my scalp for the minimum two hours, but am now applying it for 10-15 minutes before I shower in the morning.

My question is am I just wasting it? Is 10-15 minutes enough time for some absorbtion / effectiveness?

I am also using Revita every day.

Any comments and input GREATLY appreciated!

I have to ask you...you mentioned that you get chest pains...can you describe what you feel in more detail?

The chest pains are more of an ache. My heart races and my chest feels weird. And the worst part is that that is only with minoxidil on my scalp for 5-10 minutes per day.

No, I am not nervous or anxious. It goes away a couple of days after I stop applying minoxidil. I might try .5ml instead but somehow I think it will end up the same.

Did someone mention NANO as being "natural minoxidil", and does it have similar side effects, or even similar effectiveness?

I did not apply the minoxidil this morning and FINALLY my heart is starting to slow down. It's a noticeable difference.

Still doing the research on NANO. Does anyone use it and what kind of success have you had?

So let me get this right....you apply minoxidil and then for the rest of the day you get weird chest pains....or do you only get pains shortly after the application?
