Hello, Melody! How are you?
If he has high blood pressure, then he can't just stop taking a medication for it. He needs to speak to his doctor about trying a different medication.
Several blood pressure medications can cause hair loss as a side effect, as listed by the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination. However, not all of them do and there shouldn't be a problem with him trying a different one.
Is there anything else I can help with?
