What is happening to me??? I KEEP LOSING HAIR!!!?

Ever since i have started college i have lost 22 or more pounds and i was really skinny to start with and i am losing hair in the shower and it started out just a few strands and then went to a lot of strands like when i was washing my hair of course and today A LOT came out, like wayyy more than ever before and its really scary and my roommate thinks its because i am malnourished... and i am starting to think she is right.

Anyone have any experience with this or any answers or help for me???

Hair loss is usually due to stress and (or) undernutrition. Vitamins A, B, E and C are usually required for proper growth and maintenance of hair.

Your roommate could very well be right, loosing too much hair is a sign of not getting enough vitamines. Time to change your diet!

I have an answer, you are very nervous. i know that doesn't really help but i have another answer. you might have a sickness. my friend kept on losing hair when he got out of colledge. he had a sickness, then the losing weight part. if you are not eating alot because your nervous. you need to eat.

Ask your health center to administer a blood test. There are several blood disorders that cause and weight loss.

You don't say whether you are male or female, but if you are female you are more at risk for anemia due to blood loss. Anemia can cause hair loss.

It could be stress, or (not serious) medical condition.

I experienced this problem about 7 months ago, and I had to get some blood tests done. I tested positive (possibly- still undergoing tests) for lupus. Lupus takes a lot of time and many tests before a doctor will diagnose it.

Another possible condition would be an under active thyroid gland.

Go to a dermatologist! Oh and start taking some Biotin vitamin supplements. A bottle is only about $8 and worth it if you're losing your hair. That's what I'm taking.
