Unfortunately, I have been on blood pressure medication for years!!! I am 56 years old now & believe me, my hair is so thin now it's embarrassing for a woman!! I am seeing a really good dermatologist & my hair is still thinning. It's a struggle being right now I can't stop my medication. Thanks for this great video!! 💞

[@ellieriegner]

There is blood pressure medication called Losartan that does not cause any hair loss. Maybe you could ask your doctor about switching your meds?

[@andybunn7578]

I take losartan and have no loss of hair...my husband takes amlodapine and his hair grows like a weed.😊

[@user-mw6jo7ql1c]

Sorry to hear that. As a woman it is very embarrassing to those dealing with it. If only they could find something that could get the hair to grow back. I pray that you find something that works for you. It’s not a major health issue, but it’s embarrassing for you and that can have an effect on your mental health

[@Krise343]

I worked in cardiovascular medicine for 20 years. There are a multitude of HBP med options. But it depends on other circumstances- like if you’ve had damage to heart muscle, how is your resting heart rate, etc. Tell your doctor if you can change med due to hair loss, it affects your psychological wellbeing.

I had a gallbladder attack. I told the ER I was susceptible to hair loss with some mediation, like Lamisil and even benadryl and ibuprofen. They *insisted* I finish the medication. I suffered telogen effluvium that lasted over a month. I lost 1/3 of my hair at least. It was horrible!! My scalp was SO visible. I bought the lazer helmet iRestore I saw on this channel. You said we may not be to happy if it was for telogen effluvium because the hair grows back anyway. That may be but it stopped falling out fairly quickly and has grown back like it was in my 30's!! I use the helmet every other night. I'm glad I found your video and that I tried the helmet. It was worth it for me. The hair shedding was beyond awful. All over my floors, I had to disassemble my bathtub drain because there was a massive clog! I lost big chunks whenever I simply touched my head. Terrifying. I highly recommend iRestore though!!!!

[@shabbykat273]

Thank you. I’ve suffered from hair loss for more than ten years and nothing seems to work. I assume it’s due to a combination of drugs and stress. I’ve wanted to try the laser treatment but wondered if it works.

I’m 77. Enjoy your videos. I thought my hair was thinner due to my age. Maybe influenced by meds too after watching this video. Afib a year ago, on Elequis, Losartan, metoprolol. Dr. finally said stop metoprolol. Haven’t had any Afib events since diagnosis & on meds. Went to Europe and caught RSV, then Aspergillus. Add another strong antifungal, voriconazole for 42 days. Seven months later, my hair is beginning to look better, 3 weeks ago, had lung surgery at Mayo to remove 10% of lung, anesthesia. What a chain of events in 18 months! I check my hairbrush everyday, so far, all good. I do enjoy your skin care review of products. Saved me $$$.

2022, had major emergency surgery. My hair started shedding 3 weeks later, while still in the hospital. So it didn't start at 3 mo after. Diagnosed with telogen effluvium with hair loss of 75%!!! My dermatologist prescribed oral minoxidil and 5% topical minoxidil foam(mens) and many vitamins including collagen. Hair grew back, it's a year and I still have some very sparse sections but also some very thick areas and it grew back curly. But I have hair again. 😊

This was an excellent overview. In addition to stopping medication always mention to your doctor when you are on something for a long time. A friend was on a low blood pressure medication that was supposed to be timed and the pharmacy renewed she just kept using and 18 months later she passed out as she was parking her car. Luckily she was already stopped but apparently she was to have stopped after a few months.

Thank you so much, Dr. Dray for this thorough informative video. I appreciate how you take the time to break down the subject matter. Honestly, I have learned more from you than from my own doctors, including the dermatologist. My question to you is, can a woman develop hair loss if she has been on an SSRI for 15 years? I was diagnosed with androgenic hair loss, female pattern hair loss. When I asked if my meds could be the problem, I was told no, but I was and had been on Setraline for 16 years. There are no hair loss issues in my family. I hope you can find the time to answer my question, I would be most grateful and appreciative. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all.

Two years ago, my husband and I got a very severe case of covid. Both of us had to be taken to the hospital. I lived, but my husband didn’t. About three or four months later, my long hair started to fall out. More than two thirds of it just fell out within about two weeks. Now it has come back with a vengeance and is growing at a crazy rate, but my formerly straight hair is now coming in quite wavy. I truly miss my husband.

Thanks for this super useful video! I knew when I started valproic acid for migraines that there were side effects, but I had no idea how bad those side effects would end up being in me, including hair loss. Worked really well on the migraines though.

[@melodyblackhall6702]

Be careful taking that valproic acid (depakote.) I have Mitochondrial Myopathy which means I also have migraines, thyroid disease and insulin resistance. I was on depakote years ago for a little under a year for migraines. 1. Didn't help migraines 2. Massive weight gain 3. Mitochondrial disease toxin. It exasperated my disease. So far the only thing that has drastically improved my migraines is botox injections from my neurologist. I haven't had to take but 2 relpax (also not good for people with mitochondrial diseases) since June of last year, which is insane!

A few years ago I had an injury that caused nerve injury/damage that required surgery. Afterward, the nerves were so irritated and painful that I was prescribed gabapentin to calm them down. I was on the medication for months and during that time my hair began to shed in large clumps. When washing my hair, I'd end up with a baseball sized wad of hair in each hand. ☹ Thankfully I could stop the medication after everything healed from surgery. However it took a long time for my hair to fill back in.

[@kristennelson3190]

I JUST experienced this 2 nights ago!!!!😮 I began taking Gabapentin because the nerves were affected in my foot due to ulcers, which made it feel like my skin was being burned off (no exaggerating - it's was so surprisingly painful). Anyway, a few nights ago, I had noticed some more than usual stray hairs showing up everywhere. My pillow, the shoulders of my shirt. The next day was wash day, so I took my hair down to brush it - I'm telling you the floor beneath my feet was black because it was covered in So much shed hair. Then I washed it, and that finally made me cry - I was pulling wads and wads of hair off. I looked into gabapentin and saw it might cause some hair shedding, but I had Also just used a different brand of hair dye the week previous, so was unsure of the exact cause. I'm so thankful for your comment, and amazed and grateful that Dr.Dray posted this video when she did.💜💜💜

Sorry for all of you, surprised, any of us have hair! 😢

🌟Would you make a video on oral tranexamic acid for melasma and overall skin brightening?? Thank you!! 💕💕

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray has several videos and shorts on tranexamic acid for hyperpigmentation like, 5 skin lightening treatments to fade melasma without hydroquinone. So do other derm channels.

1:37 I was on a chemo medicine for my rheumatoid arthritis (methotrexate) and it caused significant hair thinning/loss. I have switched to another medicine but I have not seen any positive changes yet

[@julier1295]

I'm on and have been on blood pressure meds for quite awhile now and psych meds, antidepressant, so I guess these may be the cause of my hair thinning too. Thankfully I do not have bald patches as of right now. However my hair has thinned a lot.

I shed at least half of the hair on my head after I got my first Covid vaccine during the pandemic. My doctor said it wasn't possible. Unfortunately, I started blood pressure medication at the same time. I've tried various BP meds over the last few years with no regrowth. It's so annoying.

About 6 hours after my 2nd Covid vaccine, I had a piercing pain in my heart combing with difficulty of breathing experience. Also about a month later I started to lose hair. Everyday whole chunks of hair falls out.

[@sharoncrawford7192]

I had covid, no vax. My hair came out for 3 months then stopped. I know other women that had the same thing happen.

​@skye9541 My accountant had a similar piercing pain followed by terrible chills that left his entire body shaking like a leaf for a few hours. He's not healthy at all, after I heard his symptoms I was surprised he survived it.
