While stress can cause hair loss, it is a major symptom of thyroid disease. You don't say whether yours is hypo or hyper, but your medication may not be the right dosage. My husband is on synthroid and has had his dosage increased several different times. His is hypo (slow). Stress can also bring on hyperthyroidism. I cannot stress the importance of properly treating a hyperthyroid condition. I don't mean to scare you here, but my mother passed away from hyperthyroidism. It is easily treated but left alone can have the worse possible consequences. Go to the emergency room if necessary, in order to avoid doctor visit fees.
