Do you get headaches (severe) when/if your thyroid gets out of balance?
I'm asking b/c I was on 88mcg of Levothroid and have been for the last year. I got pregnant in July and my dose had to be lowered to 75mcg. I miscarried last month and now I'm having bad headaches. I'm still on the 75mcg of Levothroid. Do you think I need to go and have it checked again? Thanks a bunch!

I would go have your blood checked just to make sure, it could be another problem. I have vision problems when my TSH gets too high, and I feel like I am having black out problems with my eyes. Please go get it checked!!

Pregnancy and miscarriage will cause a reactive thyroid to swing wildly. It is not pleasant. It can take 3-6 months to straighten out.
What happenens to me is that after the pregnancy/mc, I immediately go hyper (don't need as much med). Then I gradually fall down to hypo, and need more med. During this, I feel like all sorts of crap and have all kinds of weird side effects. A headache is definitely part of it. Sleep disturbances are also a big issue during that time. Muscle & Joint pain, etc.

I had my BP taken Monday and it was 100/50. I've never had a problem (yet) with high blood pressure.

That's good to know. I've never had a problem w/high blood pressure either.
Being hyper (or being on too much med) can cause a high pulse rate, though.
