Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The hairfall problem what you are facing could be due to old age and would be associated with vitamin-mineral deficiency.
Many a times, decreased iron levels reflected as low levels of hemoglobin is associated with excess hair fall. Hence, kindly get a complete hemogram done, which might reflect on what could be the cause.
In the meantime, you can try taking multivitamin-mineral capsules for a month and see if the deficiency is restored and you appreciate the reduction in hair fall symptom.
Kindly consult Physician with the report for appropriate advise and follow-up.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
