Hair loss with Verapamil?

Does any one else notice hair loss with Verapamil? My cardiologist tripled my dose two weeks ago, and now I seem to be losing more hair than ever. Does anyone have any suggestions for stopping hair loss? I'm reluctant to stop or reduce the Verapamil as I've been coping better with almost permanent AF since the dose increased. Thank you.

My hair loss only started since taking Verapamil, and it's quite thin hair anyway. Just hoping it settles, as I anticipate taking this high dose for months until I get an ablation op done.
