Unable To Breathe Through Nose, Tightness And Dryness In Thorat And Nose After Taking Mass Gainer And Hair Gainer Oil. Side Effects?
Hi, I am Shekhar, 26 Yrs old.
Few days back (Around 1 month ) I had started taking Mass Gainer (Weider Giant Mass Gainer 4000) for my body building activity.
During this time only, I had also started using Dr Reddy's Hair Gainer Oil Mintop Forte (Minoxidil Topical Solution USP 5%) .
After using these products about 15 days, I had started experiencing below complications.
1. Difficulty in breathing (Suffocation)
2. My throat feels tight like it's going to close up. It basically feels like I have a lump in it. I feel I can't breathe properly and that something is rubbing inside my throat.
3. I feel dryness in my throat, and also my upper abs get tighten with nose get squeezed/blocked (Just like during cold), which makes me difficult to breathe/inhale.
4. I am not able to concentrate even for 5 mints, and start moving here and there to get temporary relief..which is also not helpful.
5. I need to breathe through my mouth so that I can feel ventilated..
6. I feel like I am losing my energy level and my body is not getting an enough air supply.
Note : I had stopped using the above products after experiencing complications, but still facing the above difficulties.
I get examined with some general physicians and all my test (Lipid Profile, CBC Test, Thyroid, Digital Chest X-Ray, ECG, Blood Pressure) were normal.
None of the doctor is able to diagnose my problem, and I am finding it hard what to do, as I'm sure something is wrong and it's making me feel really scared.
Thanks
Shekhar

DEAR SIR/MADAM
MINOXIDIL IS BASICALLY A DRUG USED TO CONTROL HYPERTENSION, ITS SIDE EFFECTS ARE HAIR GROWTH, SO WHEN RESEARCHERS ANALYSED THESE POINTS, THEN THEY DECIDED TO USE IT TO TREAT FOR HAIRLOSS.
WHEN APPLIED TOPICALLY IT WILL CAUSE REGROWTH OF HAIR.
IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOLLOWING SIDE EFFECTS.
1. dry cough, sharp or stabbing chest pain;
2. chest pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
3. trouble breathing (especially while lying down);
4. swelling in your legs, ankles, or feet;
5. rapid weight gain of 5 pounds or more;
6. fast or pounding heartbeats;
7. sudden numbness, weakness, headache, confusion, or problems with vision, speech, or balance;
8. fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash;
9. the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild;
10. easy bruising or bleeding; or
11. feeling like you might pass out
WATCH OUT FOR THESE
THANKS
