Female androgenetic alopecia – Has anyone had success with supplements or safe treatments?

Hi everyone,

I have androgenetic alopecia and I'm looking for advice from people who have actually found something that helped.

Has anyone had success with supplements such as biotin, or any other products? Are there any treatments that are considered relatively safe and low-risk?

The problem is that I have heart arrhythmias, so I'm quite worried about using minoxidil because of the potential cardiovascular side effects. I also have hormonal issues, which may be contributing to my hair loss.

My hair loss hasn't progressed too far yet, but my hair has become extremely thin, fragile, and breaks easily. I'd really like to do something before it gets worse.

I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences, what worked (or didn't work), and any suggestions I could discuss with my dermatologist.

Thank you ❤️

Sudden but short-lived dizziness?

Hi guys, for several months now this has been happening to me: suddenly, whether I’m lying down, sitting, or standing (so it doesn’t seem related to position or movement), I get abrupt episodes of dizziness lasting a few seconds. They cause blurred vision and a feeling like everything is moving or unstable. Sometimes I don’t feel anything in my chest, and other times I feel a sort of empty sensation.

I’ve had three 24-hour Holter monitors, and they only showed premature beats (extrasystoles), but these dizzy episodes didn’t happen while I was wearing them because they are sporadic.

What could this be? I’m very worried that it’s cardiac-related. Could it be a long pause caused by extrasystoles or some type of arrhythmia? I’m scared of fainting or something worse happening.
