What Causes Severe Headache And Hair Loss?
HI! I have frequent severe headaches and I have noticed that I have scalp aches for about 2 years now. My scalp has gotten so tender that it hurts to even leave my hair tied for 20-30 minutes. I also have been experiencing hair loss. I would like to know what is causing this and How can it be treated

Hello,
Headache and hair loss may not be related. Headache can occur due to various causes like migraine, cluster head ache, refractive errors, stress etc. I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment of the symptoms. Hair loss can occur due to various causes like weak roots, damaged hair, dandruff, poor nutrition, stress etc. I suggest you to consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment to find cause for hair loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
