I've read that the reason caffeine helps a headache is that it reduces the swelling of blood vessels in your head. When you have a headache the blood vessels swell pressing on your head making it hurt, or something like that.
Excedrin has Acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine. Works great for a headache, but for some reason makes me nauseous. I've discovered other pills with caffeine in them also make me sick. But I can drink a Mt. Dew or Coffee with no problem. Don't know why.
