Could High Blood Pressure Cause Hair Loss?
can high blood pressure cause hair loss? I'm a 58 year old female, been on a low dose of HRT for about 18 months, under a lot of stress the past 6 months, and had rapid thinning of the hair for about 2 months. My doctor put me on BP meds about 2 months ago, and now my BP is almost normal. Recently (last few weeks) I haven't lost as much hair. Could high blood pressure have been what was causing the hair loss?

HI
Well come to HCM
Some time this may be possible but this is very less likely and some time associated with other factor too, if there is no obvious cause of hair fall found then this may be due to antihypertensive drug or disease, again this would be very rare condition, take care, have a nice day.
