Topical Minoxidil causing side effects, what an I do?

Imaginative519007
Hello, I have had bad tendinitis, back pain, leg numbness, brain fog for sometime now. I did not suspect minoxidil until I left town and didn’t bring it with me or use it for a few weeks and my symptoms improved dramatically. After I resumed all symptoms returned. I tried both liquid and foam and they both have this effect . What can I do ? Is there another form of minoxidil I can use that doesn’t cause me systemic effects? Recommendations?
