causes of hair loss and chills
Chills are caused by muscles contracting and relaxing rapidly. This occurs when the body is trying to generate heat, in order to raise the body's core temperature. Goosebumps commonly coincide with the chills and are caused by the reflexive erection of the hairs on your body, due to a cold environment or stress.
Hair loss can also be due to medications used to treat cancer, high blood pressure, arthritis, depression, and heart problems. A physical or emotional shock may trigger noticeable hair loss. Examples of this type of shock include a death in the family, extreme weight loss, or a high fever.
First, your doctor or dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in skin problems) will try to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary male- or female-pattern baldness. If you have a family history of baldness, you may have this type of hair loss.
