Very unlikely that the increased heart rate and chest pain will be due to minoxidil. But I would suggest you show a medicine specialist these issues. As for your minoxidil, if you're using it for AGA, you'll need slow taper off depending on your improvement. If other causes, can stop without tapering but again needs confirmation, if we don't want recurrence
