Suddenly my hair started falling out in clumps. I lost 50 %of my hair volume in just 3 weeks. Whenever I try to pull my hair in mass very gently, the volume of hair comes in my hand.

Hi... This is a very common phenomenon that is presenting in my clinic. It is an acute onset of excess hair fall that is truly disturbing. I find that it is because of a drastic change in lifestyle during the lockdown that many patients of mine are experiencing this kind of hairfall.
Next Steps
I suggest first and foremost you start sleeping and eating at fixed times and at regular hours. Go back to your times before the lockdown. you will need supportive treatments for which you will have to consult me. this can be arranged by contacting my clinic.
Health Tips
Sleep at 10pm. sit in direct sunlight every morning between 7 and 8.
