Could Using Minscalp Cause Numbness On Face And Headache?

Hey I started using minscalp f lotion yesterday. i started feeling numb in my face, felt irregular heart beat, burning in the eyes and headache which i still have. my friend told me it is common and will become normal as i use it daily. please advice me as i am scared that long term use might alter my genes or something like that or cause health issues for me in future. mine is a receding problem and the hair in the front have stopped growing by length. i feel it will grow well if i quit smoking but it will take time. so i want somthing to support my hair growth till then. i came across this NuH hair lotion on the internet and it looks very promising and it is a herbal lotion. it is mentioned that a practical study was conducted on 15 men with good results. please share your opinion on this. thank you
