To HAIR Or Not

Your not gonna believe this, I don't. My hair has been falling out rapidly. So I go to the Doctor and he says, "its due to the lack of oxygen caused by my heart condition". Has anyone ever had this happen to them?

Hair loss

by Blueaustralia - 2009-11-07 06:11:11

Earlier this year I had an argument with my dr about my hair loss. He referred me to a skin specialist. I told doc that it was because he had dropped my thyroxin dossage. He said I could up the dose on a Sunday I upped it on Wednesday too. I never did get to the skin specialist ast it was a 6 month wait and I would have looked like my husband by then. Bald. This week I told the doc about my thyroxin dosage and he made a not of it on my chart : hair loss fix by thryoxin dosage. He finally agreed with me.

There are many reasons for hair loss. Stress, throid, are the only two factors I am familiary with. I did no know about heart problems causing it. I had mentioned it to my cardio and he did not comment on it,

Hope you find something that helps sincere wishes from Oz Billie

What meds are you on ? A lot of cardiac drugs can cause hair loss including atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol, inderal, and timolol. Then there's warfarin (Coumadin), cholesterol drugs, antidepressants especially, antiinflammatories, and beta blocker drops used for glaucoma. I'm sure there are lots more just can't think of any more right now.
