Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
The symptoms of migraine are not alike in all people. Different individuals experience symptoms differently.
Common symptoms of migraine includes dull or severe ache on one or both sides of the head, nausea or vomiting, disturbances of vision, irritability at bright lights, noise, odors, fatigue, feeling cold or sudden sweating.
Stress, irritation and caffeine (one of the ingredients exedrin migraine) can cause heart racing.
All the drug you have mentioned are capable of causing Gastro intestinal upset except nexxium which contains esmoprazole acid lowering drug.
Headache should be evaluated, whether it is migraine or simple headache due to stiff neck. in case of stiff neck it should be addressed. Bad posture if responsible should be corrected and can take physiotherapy.
I advice you to see physician for examination and also for ant alteration in your medicines.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
