After my oldest child was born I was diagnosed with tyroid disease and put on medication. 2 yrs ago I not that when my meds are off or need to be adjusted I get headaches and tenderness in that spot is this something I should worry with or get checked?

Hello!
I read your question and understood your concern.
Indentations of the scalp may be since birth, but they may also occur during life because of disorders of the bones or the meninges.
A very common cause of these problems is Vitamin D deficiency and low levels of Calcium.
I would like to know the type of thyroid disorder, for which you are being treated.
Thyroid disorders can coexist with parathyroid disorders, causing changes in calcium levels.
So I would recommend an x-ray of the scalp , Calcium plasma levels and Vitamin D plasma levels to exclude these disorders. If everything is OK there is nothing to worry about.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
