Your headaches are not due to the thyroid reports. You should get them evaluated by a personal visit to a doctor for better understanding. Regarding thyroid levels, it is in borderline range. It will depend on a few factors whether you require medicines for the same. Eg planning pregnancy, thyroid swelling in the neck etc.
