Thyroid and Headache

I hear about T3 and T4 and I don't know what that is! I am hypothyroid and take Levothyroxine 75 mil. I have had a terrible headache in the back of my head that rarely goes away and had it before I was diagnosed! I think this is related to my Thyroid, does anyone else have this kind of headache?

T4 is aka Levothyroxine

T3 is aka Liothyronine

In the body T4 should convert into T3. Not to be confused with FT3 & FT4
