No: Vitamin D toxicity is very rare; one generally has to take at least 40,000 iu/day for months to get toxic levels. Symptoms of toxicity include poor appetite, excess thirst, frequent urination, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle weakness or pain, irritability, nausea and vomiting but headache is not a know symptom.

Yes: too much vitamin D can cause headaches. The term is called pseudotumor cerebri and it can occur from too much vitamin A, D, Tetracycline. Stopping the vitamin D should reverse the headaches.
