  1. check with your dr. could be something serious.
  2. I doubt. MAy be she partied too hard!

    Hyothyroid can cause high BP that can cause headaches...but that is far fetched!
  3. It could,but not directly. An underactive thyroid condition occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient amounts of the thyroid hormones that help regulate the body’s metabolism.
    A lack of these hormones decreases metabolism, causing symptoms such as weight gain, tiredness, depression, poor concentration, dry skin and constipation – Tiredness and depression will automatically trigger off headaches. Its a vicious circle, where one thing leads to another.She has my sympathy..
  4. Underactive thyroids can cause all sorts of aches and pains, not to mention other more serious health problems. Your co-worker needs to see a doctor who will probably put him/her on a thyroid hormone to help regulate it.
