Headaches On Left Side, Hair Fall. Is Minokem Or Mx Better?

hello doctor, I am 34 yrs suffering from tensions and hypothyroidism , psychiatrist treatment is going on, but still i have headaches on the left side due to worries, 3yrs ago a doctor prescribed me minokem usp2% 2ml for hair fall once daily, till one year i was using it, it showed some result, but the hair was not growing in length, after which another doctor prescribed mintop 5% twice daily, i used for a year, the hair did occurred on the bald area but many hairs also grown on the face, upper lips and chin , the doctor stopped the medicine, and prescribes uproot for hair removal on face, two months I applied uproot, there was some result, the facial hairs went away to some extent but the newly grown hairs on the scalp also went, later on the same doctor prescribed me amexidil 5% twice daily for 7months, and once again the hair showed the growth on the scalp but it occured on face too, now since one month amexidil has been stopped with application of uproot, but since 1month i am suffering from headaches continuously, my newly grown hair on the scalp have fallen down, I think the cause is headache, again the same doctor has prescribed me mx-2 % / minokem-n 2% now i am confused which one will be better for me, so please help

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your headache problem is less likely due to use of minokem, uproot or amexidil use. In my opinion it is more due to tension of hair growth and hairfall.

In history, you already mention about tension and hypothyroidism which increase chances of developing anxiety. Anxiety can present with headache due to forehead muscle spasm.

Same time get examined by general physician to rule out following causes of headache:
• High blood pressure: BP increases during exercise.
• Infection of teeth/ear/nasal cavity
• Visual problem
