Hi, I'm a 33 year old male who has used Rogaine in the past. I stopped using it about two years ago after 10 months because I was getting minor muscle pains in my left chest area and suspected that Rogaine might of been a contributing factor. After stopping the treatment I felt that the pains decreased. Knowing that the Rogaine was helping me with my hair loss it was hard just to sit here and watch my hair get thinner. After a few months I started to question my belief that Rogaine could actually be causing me those pains and tried it again for a couple of nights and sure enough I felt the pains come back. I've read on the box that if you have chest pains to stop the treatment, but not thinking the pains are to severe I am not sure on what to do. If the product was not helping me than it would be an easy decision, but since it has helped I find myself torn. My doctor said the dose in Rogaine (5%) was too low to cause any problems, but I don't have complete faith in his opion. Is it possible that Rogaine could be causing or contributing to these pains? Any help or suggustions would really mean a lot.

Cheers,

J.

It can definitely cause problems, I almost passed out a couple of times because my blood pressure dropped too much from using it. See another doctor, probably a cardiologist.

Hey J! I had tried rogaine when it first came out by prescription.
I stopped using it after I had experienced A Rapid hearbeat. When I stopped so did the symptoms.I wasn't getting results anyway.
I am sure there are guys on here who will post thier experience with rogaine. Even though a doc might tell you that Rogaine doe's not cause chest pain, I would listen to what your body is telling you & stop using it.
