Could Severe Hair Loss Be Related To Migraine?

Hi, I am a 20 years old female and in the past months my hair has been thinning/falling out/ and not growing. I also recently been getting migraines in which I get so ill like never before. I was wondering if these could be related in anyway? Also, I haven't changed medications and I take vitamins as well.

HI
Well come to HCM
Because of the migraine hair falling is not possible this could be due to hormonal imbalance (Reproductive and thyroid ) or may be due to fungal infection of hair, and this need to be ruled out, till then condition can be treated with Minoxidil 5 % lotion to be applied on scalp three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
