Hello,
As you mentioned you are diagnosed with hypothyroidism and you did check your hormonal level recently. I wouldn't recommend to you to change the dose of thyronorm only because of these symptoms because there may not be related to the thyroid. If you checked your hormonal level less than 6 weeks ago i wouldn't recommend to check them again.
You have to contact your doctor for the severe headache to rule out any other cause.
