Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You are taking Levothyroxine 100 mcg/day which means you are having Hypothyroidism and not high thyroid level. Your TSH level may be high.
Sorry to know that you had a spontaneous abortion.
Your symptoms may or may not be related to thyroid issue, please get yourself examined by Physician and proper investigations like complete blood count and thyroid function may be required.
Your heaviness in head may be due to vascular headache (Migraine) or if necessary a CT scan of head may be done to be sure there is no other pathology.
It may be related to stress and anxiety also it can be treated.
Take care.
Good Luck.
