Sir,
Good morning.
Stay safe.
These side effects that you are having may be attributable to Minoxidil.
Your treating doctor is the best person to advise you regarding the future usage of Minoxidil.
You should get back to him with the details of these issues.
For your knowledge, Minoxidil was initially used as an oral tablet to control BP. It was not a very good agent to control BP, but it was found that people who were taking this tablet, tended to have a reduction in their hairloss, and some people noticed some hair growth also. Thereafter, this medicine was formulated as a liquid for application on the scalp for people with male pattern hairloss. Since some amount of Minoxidil might get absorbed into the blood circulation after applying on the scalp, thus it might cause some side effects.
Next Steps
Consult your doctor who wrote the medicines, who would be able to tell clearly if these effects are due to Minoxidil or due to some other unrelated issues.
