Could Severe Hair Fall Be Due To Hypertensive Medications?
Hello, I m on Carvidelol and Amlodepine to treat Hypertension for several years now without incident (well maybe some that are so small it has gone unnoticed). Wait! I did have some dental problems that my Dentist said was related but those were resolved with a deep cleaning and, now, earlier cleaning schedules. All of a sudden, I m losing a LOT of hair. It s everywhere! It s thinning rapidly and I m worried. Could my medication be the cause after so many years with no side effects? If so, why after so long? Thanks in advance.
