Headache and pressure behind eye

This may be nothing at all but I've been getting a lot of headaches for about 3 or 4 weeks. They're very dull and occur on the far right side of my forehead and sometimes the pain goes into the area behind my right eye, causing pressure-like pain.

I'm not susceptible to headaches or migraines but I'm hypothyroid and take thyroxine (I was on a course of 75mcg per day which is a small dose for anything adverse to happen). Could this be a worsening of the hypo? I had a blood test and that came back with the TSH at 4 (therapeutic range 0.27 - 4.2)

Thanks for any help.

     According to a Dr. Oz show I watched - these are Cluster headaches.   Always behind one eye and come and go.
     They are not migraine headaches.

Hi, thanks for reply. The headaches come and go and are in the front of the right side and behind my eye. It's fair to say it's a throbbing pain and does not get worse if I bend my head down.

1. you're hot
2. this is nothing to worry about and not related to hypothyroid. To know the cause you must tell us more info such as when the headaches come on and are they in the front or back or middle of the right side? Are they throbbing? Does the pain get worse if you bend your head down?
