What blood pressure medications don't cause hair loss?

I am currently taking Bisoprolol for about 2 months, in replacement of Metoprolol. I was started on Beta blockers after my second cardiac episode in May. I am experiencing severe hair loss ever since, but I have been dealing with less severe hair loss for about 10 to 15 years. In retrospect, this seems to coincide with when I was started on high blood pressure medications (diuretics). Does anyone else experience hair loss with those medications ?

@france28150 yes, that is me too. My hair is also extremely dry and brittle. Anyone have any suggestions to managing very dry and brittle hair? Regular conditioners do not help. I have even tried products for mens' beards.

@france28150 I am tagging @mannism who has discussed Metropolol hair loss and may have more to share.
I see @jenatsky’s recommendation that dermatology may be able to help. A thought…maybe you could ask someone on your care team to pursue an e-consult with a dermatologist to chime in with thoughts and recommendations.
