Could Taking Medication For Heartburn Cause Hair Loss?

I have been losing hair pretty steadily lately and not sure why? Im wondering if it could be due to the heart burn medicine or the pans i use with the coating on them. Those are the only things that has changed in my daily routine that i can think of. Im not sure what else it could be.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of hair fall, my treatment advice is -
1. Medication for heartburn doesn't cause hair fall.
2. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin B12 supplement.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
