Palpitations on minoxidil, what should I do?

I am 23 years old. I was told to start topical Minoxidil (rogaine) a few months ago by a specialist in my city as a preventative measure for hair loss.  However, I started having heart palpitations and chest pain while using the medication. It’s a bit difficult to reach the specialist on short notice, so I thought I would reach out to you.  Do you suggest that I stop using Minoxidil while I wait for an appointment? I’ve been using it for three to four months now so I imagine I’ll begin shedding heavily after stopping it. 

Maybe you should take a look at the dose of the minoxidil.  If it is the 5% solution, switch it to the 2% solution.  Call you doctor for, at the minimum, a phone call.
