Question: “I have been sick for a couple weeks and I think my hair loss has been elevated. Is this true, am I losing more hair wen I’m feeling tiered and weak?”
Answer: “Stress can contribute to hair loss, but were talking extreme stress. It would have to be quite a debilitating illness to have a noticeable effect on your hair. I would have to know more about the nature of your illness to say for sure whether it is causing hair loss, but if it is not to serious my quick answer would be that your illness is not effecting your hair loss. Good luck and get well soon, Dr. Robert Jones”
