Hair loss can be caused by a lot of things and stress causes a lot of things, so could be. But, maybe you are going through some sort of chemical change. Many hair loss cases, especially in women, is due to hormones or lack of. Are you on any new medications? Medications can severely alter your hormone levels, especially thyroid meds.

You are only 45, so we can most likely rule out menopausal side effects, although even premenopausal symptoms can cause hair loss.

If non of these things are adding up, see your dermatologist, he/she can prescribe hair loss medication to help reverse the effects.

If it turns out to just be stress related or a med you can replace, your hair will grow back, however if it turns out to be your natural hormones, you could be in some trouble. Until you see a doctor, you could try using Nioxin hair care, it is for hair loss, and they even make a shampoo for chemically treated hair, just in case you color or perm your hair, it won't react with it. But it can be a bit steep, usually about $40 for a 8.5oz bottle.

I hope I helped, good luck.
