Severe Hair fall
I’m 25 and experiencing severe hair fall, strands come out just by touching, also after showering and brushing. I also have an itchy scalp with dandruff now, which I usually have only in winters.
Diagnosed with PCOS, have irregular periods, frequent migraines, and exam-related stress. I often feel dizzy, hungry soon after eating, and lethargic even after 8 hours of sleep, especially in the afternoon or evening.
I also have chronic left shoulder pain, worse while studying — it started in college and is now a daily issue affecting focus.

Severe hair fall along with dandruff, scalp itching, and tiredness can result from a combination of issues like PCOS, thyroid imbalance, low vitamin D, and exam stress. Your TSH is a bit high and vitamin D is quite low, which can worsen both hair fall and tiredness. Dizziness and hunger soon after eating may also point to insulin resistance, which is common with PCOS.
Next Steps
I’d suggest an online consult with your reports and scalp photos so we can address all aspects - hair, hormones, nutrition, and pain in a structured way.
