Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are two major medical conditions to be considered in patients with hair and skin problems and with palpitations are: anemia and thyroid problems. The tests to be done are CBC to rule out anemia and TSH to rule out thyroid problems. Please consult your doctor on the need for these tests and the possibility of having them done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
