My hair is coming out way too much. I am getting very nervous!!!!!!!?

I am 35 years old and I have thick hair. I know that hair usually comes out when you brush it, but lately my hair is coming out too much. When I brush my hair my brush is filled with hair each time. I can sit and just run my fingers through my hair and lots and lots of strands come out. It does not come out in patches or anything like that, but I am one who worries constantly and I am very worried. They did up my thryroid medication and I am on birth control to regulate. could these be factors. I also need to get tested for diabetes because glucose levels were high. Or could it just be that it is summer and 110 degress outside. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

I have the same problem, and I'm also 35! I asked my hair stylist about it thinking maybe my hair was excessively dry and brittle. He told me everyone has natural daily hair loss, but you don't normally notice it because the hair falls out a few here, a few there - - when you run your fingers through your hair, when a breeze blows through your hair, etc. When it's warm out do you wear your hair up for most of the day (I do)? If so, the normal hair loss you have throughout the day still occurs, but the hairs get trapped in your ponytail, bun, etc. So when you take our the ponytail or whatever, all the hair you've lost throughout the day is concentrated in one spot. Have you had comprehensive bloodwork done to check levels besides just your thyroid? Another thing my stylist suggested is taking light iron supplements (even though my bloodwork doesn't show an iron deficiency). He said for some reason stress sometimes affects iron levels, and this can cause an increase in daily hair loss. Good luck!
