Will Migraine Causes Hair Fall?
Yes, I suffer from severe migraines almost everyday and so does multiple immediate family members. We have with this our whole lives. But I have recently started having severe hair loss...clumps of hair multiple times a day. Could this have anything to do with my migraines ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hair fall is multifactorial: hereditary/ erratic lifestyle/ stress/ hormonal changes/ dandruff/ poor nutrition etc to name a few. The migraines cause stress which in turn trigger your hair fall. Please visit a general MD/ neurologist to correct your migraine. Also start taking multivitamins with biotin in it.
