Hello,
Headache and dizziness may be less not related to the surgery. If she is not taking sufficient hormones may lead to dizziness and head ache. Regular health check-up and sufficient dosage of thyroid hormone intake may prevent recurrence.
Also check for migraines headache or tension headache possible causes in hypothyroidism patients. Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
