I used Minoxidil for one month. Will the hair I lost from minoxidil grow back? Is this a normal shedding from minoxidil? (Photo)

The photo is from 5 minutes rubbing my head. Before minoxidil i had no hair loss. I have MPB but very very slowly. I had to stop using minoxidil because of burning scalp, and high pulse. Will the hair I lost grow back? Will iy grow back thinner then it was before minoxidil usage? Because if I understand MPB your hair grows back thinner if you shed. Minoxidil shed is like a normal shed so it will grow back thinner I think? So minoxidil can make you bald faster if you stop using it?
