Free testosterone of 11.7 pg/mL (assuming units) is low for a 37-year-old male. Testosterone Undecanoate 40mg may not be sufficient dosing. The headaches and jaw pain could be side effects but need evaluation.
Low testosterone itself doesn't directly cause stroke/heart attack but may increase cardiovascular risk factors. I'd recommend:
1. Recheck testosterone levels and complete hormone panel
2. Consult endocrinologist for dosage adjustment
3. Rule out other causes of headaches
4. Monitor cardiovascular risk factors

It is not normal but it cannot be concluded that the headache is due to your testosterone supplement. Contact your doctor in person with all the medicines you take and all recent reports.
