Suffering From Chest Pains From Finasteride

[otis p mcdonald]

I started taking 0.5 finasteride 5 weeks ago and was pleased that I wasn’t suffering any side effects. Over the last week I’ve been getting terrible chest pains and have decided to come off it to see whether they were caused by the medication.

I’m pretty annoyed as not worrying about my hair made me feel pretty good.

Maybe micro dosing is better than nothing ?

Chest pains like breast pains or chest pains like heart attack pains? What severity were they and did they stop after cessation?

They started as just a discomfort and ended up being a pain I guess like a cramp. More in my pecks than in between them.There wasn’t any real pain when I touched them although last night I did feel very slight tenderness. It’s unlike any other pain I’ve had and isn’t like a back ache or anything.

I would say that it was more like a heart attack feeling although i couldn’t be sure. I’m young and slim and have no history of heart problems in my family

The pain was at it’s worse 48 hours after I took my last pill. I have no idea what to think

You’re right but it completely sucks. The idea of keeping my hair as it is for 10 years would be amazing

Your regimen says "Rogaine and finasteride" . You don't get sides or something?

Thanks on month 7, have long miniaturized hairs throughout my peaks, hope they darken and become fuller throughout the year. If it does i could be a NW2, started at a 4+

Obviously, get checked out. We're not a doctor
