Yes, hair loss can be one of many symptoms of a thyroid condition. The thyroid condition that most commonly experiences hair loss is an overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroid. Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormones.

Yes it can. Or more specifically a lot of the medicines can. I have hypothyroidism and I am losing my hair. It won't be in giant clumps like it would be for say a Chemo patient, but your hair will thin out.
