Brief Answer:
IBS not related.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
See, it would be wrong to say that these drugs have no side effects. Every drug, even like Paracetamol has its side effects. However it's not essential that everyone will get it.
Important here is that if you are noticing any side effect, please tell me. Else a good control of BP is more important then searching for side effects on internet. Its a long list!!!
IBS is not related to these medicines.
Mostly IBS is linked to stress and unhealthy lifestyle. That might be causing you eye pain and Headache if your BP is well controlled.
I would advise you to keep your life stress free. You will get relief from IBS and Headache.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Detail Follows.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
If your initial levels of TSH were 7 or 8,this is subclinical Hypothyroidism.
I need to know are you mentioning these levels on medication for thyroid or these reading were when you were not on thyroid treatment.
Have you got your lipid profile done?
If yes please attach report.
