Does Hypothyroidism With Multinodular Goiter Cause Headache?
I have hypothyroidism including a multinodular goiter. Doctor is periodically increasing my dose of synthroid until my levels are normal. My question is, I have had a constant headache for almost 3 years. It never subsides. I have had a brain MRI, neck CT, and spinal tap - all normal. Could the headache be related to the thyroid issues?

Hypothyroidism cause fatigue , weakness. Headache occurs in many cases. There can be tension type headaches, migraine headache,, headache due to gastritis, in some people it occurs on empty stomach, due to sinusitis, due to increased eye power, in some infections. Thyroid probkem may not lead to headache..but sometimes, drugs taken for this problem may cause headache.
