Yes, birth control pills have side effects, mostly weight gain, bloating sometimes nausea. Since you are experiencing headaches as well, it could lead to migraine attacks. Oral contraceptive pills are not prescribed or stopped immediately in case of headaches, and since you are experiencing all these symptoms you should stop these pills and contact your gynecologist for another mode of contraception.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
