Thyroid medications can sometimes trigger certain types of headache, especially if given at too high dosage or after increasing the dosage too quickly. To be sure this is the culprit you need a diagnosis of which type of headache you are suffering, as there are hundreds to choose from. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of headache disorders, consult a board certified headache specialist.
