does hyperthyroidism cause hair loss - #26542
I am really worried about my hair lately and need some input. For the past few months, I noticed I’m losing more hair than usual, and it’s making me super anxious. I’ve always had thick hair, but now it seems like even just brushing it leads to a handful of strands. I recently went to the doctor for some fatigue and other symptoms, and they mentioned that *does hyperthyroidism cause hair loss*? At first, I wasn’t even thinking about my hair when discussing my health, but now I can’t stop wondering if my thyroid might be the issue. They did some blood tests, and I'm waiting on results, but the thought of it being connected to hair loss is freaking me out. Has anyone else dealt with *hyperthyroidism and hair loss*? Like, I read a bit online, and it seems like there’s some solid info out there, but hearing real experiences might help me cope. It feels weird to connect the dots, but could the fatigue and hair falling out be linked? I mean, I know stress can play a role too, but honestly thinking about *does hyperthyroidism cause hair loss* just makes me more anxious. Did any1 in this forum have a similar story or could share some light? These 2 issues seem so intertwined for me. Thanks!
