Can thyroid disease cause headaches?

Actually, my doctor explained this to me last month when I complained of chronic headaches. He said both hypo and hyperthyroidism can cause them because thyroid hormones directly regulate our nervous system and vascular tone. Once we adjusted my dosage and my TSH stabilized, the headaches slowly went away.

My mother used to tell me to drink ginger tea and apply warm oil for my headaches, which surely gives temporary relief. But honestly, when my thyroid levels were highly fluctuating, only my doctor's treatment plan cured the headaches. Do get a simple blood test done to see where your levels are.

I totally get it, dealing with thyroid issues is exhausting enough, and adding headaches to it is just the worst. I used to get these dull, annoying headaches almost every afternoon. Please take some rest and don't push yourself too hard right now.

My teenage daughter has hypothyroidism and she used to complain about heavy headaches every other day. We realized it got worse when she didn't drink enough water or skipped her pills. Make sure you are taking your medication strictly on time every morning.
