21 y/o male diagnosed with chronic telogen effluvium. I'm healthy, but drink with friends. very occasionally smoke marijuana, exercise 5 days a week, eat a healthy diet, but have a slight heart issue from stress (stresses that started this whole thing). What are the chances of minoxidil working? I've read it works for some people but better for younger people. Removing the trigger is the answer but its hard to do with hair loss to worry about. having hair loss for about a year and a half.
