Hyperhydrosis: Hyperhydrosis comes to mind. Maybe even hyperthyroidism. But it would be best evaluated by physical exam. Have a doctors or mid level provider examine you.

See your DR: Sometimes congenital hyperhidrosis. Sometimes overactive thyroid. Sometimes med. or hot food. Can be carcinoid or adrenal tumor. Sometimes anxiety. Need a good DR to sort it out. Menst normal? Any vitamins or herbs?

I'm a 45 year old woman, in good health. Over the past month or so, I've been losing a lot more hair than normal - equally from all areas of my head. I am definitely under chronic stress from all the changes that are still going on, working from home with 2 small kids, etc. Could this be due to stress or should I be worried? I have been losing more hair than normal, should I be worried?
