Summary

A 45-year-old man who had had COVID at least once without symptoms reported heart palpitations, especially after a few beers or wine, and hard heartbeats he thought Rogaine might be causing. He stopped Rogaine and everything got better, but about a year later the hard heartbeats returned. He was still doing high-intensity workouts and had had a heart check with no known issues.
