Hi! You probably have low blood pressure. The minoxidil lowers the blood pressure more than it should, and makes your heart work overtime to compensate. But that effect is transient and doesnt last for longer time.
Next Steps
Hydrate yourself properly. Have fruit juices, buttermilk etc.
Health Tips
Use a lesser percent of minoxidil and only once you are comfortable step it up.
