Taken Excedrin Migraine For Headache. Have Nausea, Weakness, Hot And Cold Chills. Due To Medicine?

I had a headache last night. I took 2 excedrin migraine . The dosage is a limit of 2 in 24 hrs but I took a total of 4 by accident. The last 2 were taken around 11pm. I woke up at 2am weak, nauseous, hot and cold chills, and now everything tastes salty to me. Is the Excedrin possibly related to these symptoms or do you think it is something else?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Yes, it was excess of excedrin. It contains caffeine and excess of this can lead to these symptoms. They will be self limiting and reduce by self. but next time dont even plan to do the same thing.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
