What Could Sudden Thinning Of Hair And Hair Fall Indicate?

Since one month ago my hair is getting thinner (extremely), hair brush is full of hair and I seem to shed! As I know that there can be many causes, what kind of doctor could help me before I start xprimenting on my own? I am a 70 year old female, regular weight and, of course, some health problems over the years.
