Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

I am a 38 year old female and I have always shed a bit of hair but recently I am losing a lot. In the shower there is handfuls shedding and throughout the day. This scares me quite a bit because I normally already have thin fine hair. What could be causing this??

Hello,
Sometimes this is form a thyroid, liver or kidney condition. See a doctor and get some blood tests done as soon as you can to help figure out the cause.
