Head hair loss is one of the symptoms of PCOS.

If yopur hair is still falling out after you are on madication for PCOS, something probably needs to be changed. Your dose needs to be adjusted to where you're having as few symptoms as possible. Also it's important to get checked for other problems that cause hair loss.

Remember that PCOS is a progressive disease, meaning you get more and more symptoms and the symptoms you have get worse, as you age. (Yay! Encouraging I know!) That is one explanation for why the hair loss started recently.
