Hello!
Thanks for the query.
The possible Side Effects of Tugain solution (Minoxidil topical solution) are burning or irritation of the eye, itching, redness or irritation at the treated area, as well as unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body.
Chest is not the side effect of minoxidil.You need not to stop the treatment.
Get a chest-Xray and ECG done to rule out other causes of chest pain.
Thank you.
