What Causes Hair Loss While On Cholesterol And BP Supplements?
I am a healthy female, age 65, no surgeries and I have noticed some hair loss recently, mostly on the top of my head. I eat a variety of foods and have not been under stress. I do take mess for high cholesterol and high blood pressure and have taken the same mess for the last 10 years. I also take a daily vitamin. Thanks in advance for your response!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your hair loss is most likely related to the Aging process and less likely due to the medications, especially since you are taking these medications for 10 years.
Hair loss is a common Aging phenomenon. Some people get it at a younger age while others may start late.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harmeet Mashiana
