What Causes Dizziness And Low BP After Application Of Minoxidil?
Hi, I am a 24 year old male and trying to grow a beard by using minoxidil 5% twice a day. I just started applying minoxidil a few days ago and have noticed some symptoms of low blood pressure, including lightheadedness and fatigue, and am wondering if this side effect will persist or disappear. I am otherwise completely healthy and did not notice these symptoms before using minoxidil. Thanks, Ben

Hello
Its the side effect of Minoxidil. Stop using it since you experience lightheadedness. It can make you more likely to fall. Avoid that. Drink more water, sugary drinks, ORS etc. Lying down or sitting can prevent fall.
Hope this help
