“View” star Whoopi Goldberg’s health issues continue to remain a major concern for friends and fans. The talk show host appears to have shocking signs of hair loss with those closest to the star fear she may be dealing with some major health issues according to Radar Online reports.
A source close to “The View” happenings stated that ‘everyone on the set’ has noticed the sudden changes in Whoopi Goldberg’s appearance. “They’re concerned it might be the sign of something more serious going on with her health.”
Whoopi Goldberg hair loss cause for concern?
Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a medical expert contacted by Radar, but has not treated Goldberg voiced his thoughts on Whoopi’s hair loss. Mirkin claims there could be a reason for alarm.
Noticeable large balding spots on the sides of Goldberg’s head and an alarming absence of hair where the star’s eyebrows should be is very concerning.
“I hate to say it. But, boy, that looks like the side effects of radiation or chemotherapy,” said Dr. Gabe Mirkin. “Whoopi has an admitted history of drug abuse and smoking, and that might have contributed to her health issues earlier this year.”
“That may have resulted in organ damage that would require treatment that may cause her hair to fall out,” added Mirkin.
Goldberg went to the hospital earlier this year
In February, Goldberg was admitted to the hospital with life-threatening illnesses. Goldberg’s health issues caused her to miss a month at the talk show. It was reported that Whoopi, 64, had taken extremely ill with sepsis and pneumonia in both lungs.
Whoopi Goldberg later revealed that she came very close to death during her illness.
“Yes, I came very, very close to leaving the Earth,” the longtime co-host said when she returned to TV in March.
However, another cause of Whoopi’s hair loss could be stress-related according to the report. It has been a rough few years for Whoopi Goldberg who has dealt with constant pressures from daily conflict surrounding the show.

Not only does Whoopi Goldberg feel the pressures from her job she is also feeling at a great loss in close friend and former co-star Barbara Walter’s absence.
As previously reported Walters has been dealing with major health issues of her own which left the aging journalist and reporter suffering from heart issues and advanced dementia.
Hopefully, whatever issues health or personal Whoopi Goldberg is going through at this we wish her nothing but the best as she moves forward in her life.
