A member asked:

I get a headache everyday or at my head at least feels very heavy. could synthroid (thyroxine) be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need consultation: Synthroid (thyroxine) is for thyroid problems and usually not realated to headaches. Many headaches that are not able to be diagnosed are caused from TMJ and muscle dysfunction. Consult with a dentist that treats a lot of TMJ patients for an evaluation.
