Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think it is time to re-control thyroid hormones because it may be the cause of hair loss. Also, I can recommend you to take some B complex vitamins for it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
