What Causes Sudden Hair Loss Problem?

I am having a sudden large amount of hair loss. I have patches in the top and around the sides. its been 2 months now and I ve had to cut my hair down to a boy low cut so that it s not noticed that much. My lab results show normal so I don t know why I m having hair loss. It doesn t run in my family at all.
