Hello
Since ,you are taking atenolol ( beta blockers ) and amlodipine (calcium antagonist) fro 2 years and started hairs falling. As these both drugs don't causes any hairs loss , so need not to worry . You should take these drugs as advised your doctor .
As far as concerned about BALDNESS , possibilities may be dandruff, dermatitis , deficiency of calcium pantothenate or biotine.
In my opinion you should consult a DERMATOLOGIST and get his treatment for hairs loss and baldness.
Hope this will be useful for you.
Good luck.
