Hello everyone-
This was briefly discussed years ago on this forum but I’m hoping for more recent input. I am a 46 year old female who has been advised to try 2% topical Minoxidil for the beginning stages of some hair loss. I’ve read that Minoxidil can cause afib but rarely with low dose topical. I’m afib free for over a year after two ablations and want to keep it that way. I’m inclined to try it and if anything seems off with my heart to stop. I recall Shannon thinking the reaction from topical was uncommon in a post years ago. Any input from anyone on the subject that may have been in my shoes? My shedding is causing me major anxiety which isn’t good for afib either. Thanks so much.

Have you had a thyroid panel?

I've used topical Minoxidil for years. No problem with afib. It's not absorbed into system circulation enough to have any effect on your heart.
