What's up with my hair?

Not sure it is the right thread for this as I know it may seem trivial, but my hair has been falling out by the handful for the last few weeks and I am so upset... at first I thought it was just seasonal shedding but it has just hit me how thin it is now! I don't understand why this would happen, is it an age thing? I just hit my mid thirties.

What can I do? :(

What's weirder is that it had been looking particularly amazing for the last 6 months, to the point where friends, colleagues on Zoom and even strangers felt the urge to comment on how amazing it looked! Lots of volume, luscious and shiny. It's like I woke up overnight and it has all gone.

I'm hoovering every day and it is still getting everywhere, it's a nightmare ! My poor toddler DS regularly ends up with it stuck around his fingers, in his food, or in his mouth. Barf!

It’s worth having a chat with the Dr.
Hair loss can be a sign of thyroid issues, low ferritin, vitamin D deficiency or B12 deficiency.
Are you vegetarian/vegan?

Also, have you had Covid recently? Hair loss after Covid has been reported, I think.
