Headaches: Unsure what "herd" means in your question, but otherwise the medications you mention are fine for general headaches. Patients with migraines often need prescription medication after a thorough evaluation to try and discern the nature of the migraine. Other environmental factors can help migraine sufferers such as laying down in a quite room with the lights off. Hope this helps.

Its a concern: If you have gerd (gastroesophageal reflux syndrome) then any of the nonsteroidal pain medicines (nsaids) such as Ibuprofen (aleve, motrin), or Aspirin are more likely to worsen your stomach symptoms. An alternative for headache treatment in someone with migraine is acetamophen) (tylenol).
