Brief Answer:
Nebivalol or Bisoprolol could be a better solution

Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,

Hair loss is not a common side effect of beta blockers.
Anyway, I think it would be a better choice to change your beta blocker to Nebivalol or Bisoprolol, they are newer and more selective medications, with less side effects, especially Nebivalol.

Hope this was of help

Wishing you good health
