As always, if you are concerned about something, go get it checked out by your doctor but trust his/her diagnosis in my opinion.  There are many causes of headaches with the VAST majority of them with a simple cause and a way to minimize them, but yes, I get tremendous headaches when I am stressed.  Many times you will hear people refer to them as tension headaches.  I also get them if I don't get my cup of coffee in the morning, if I don't get enough sleep, etc.  Keep us posted!

I agree with mammo. I went through a ton of stress over the past 2 years and thought my hair loss was from stress. I went to the doctor and found my ferritin was low. After 3 months of iron my hair is growing  back. :)

Although anxiety can cause headaches and some hair loss, I would follow up with your doctor regarding this. Hair loss can be caused by so many things, from thyroid problems, to hormones, to lack of nutrients....and the list goes on and on, never anything serious.  Seeyour doctor and get some blood work done.  Take care.
