Is it normal for a hangover to give you an agonising headache and racing heart etc and just general pains? I had a lot to drink lastnight. I don't normally drink alcohol but we had too much. I felt awful this morning and still now. Its 10 pm?

Most times when i nap or sleep too long i get a headache. Why does this happen? I don't drink alcohol. Caffeine in moderation.
