What Causes Thinning Of Eye Brows?

Hello, My eyebrows are very thin and my outer side hair is very thin to bald looking. My hair otherwise is growing fine. What can you recommend/? Do you think I have a under active thyroid problem and is there a vitamin I can take ? What causes this? I was in a auto accident several years ago and the doctor put me on blood pressure medication. Several months after she kept changing the dose, that is when my hair line and eyebrows fell out.
