Having serious headaches in the am, take generic synthroid at 4am to have 4 hrs before coffee and fiber. Any ideas on cause of headaches?

Wondering if take pill at 10pm or 11pm better? How much time from BP med also taken at night around 20 ish? Any advice appreciated!

No need to wait 4 hours for coffee and fibre. One hour is sufficient.
