Answers:
Chances are the headache is not from the tums!. I know dialysis patients can take up to 6 or so each time they eat! But don't make a habit of snacking on tums!. Find some candy or such!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called a calcium carbonate overdose or Tums overdose!. You probably should call someone from the Poison Control Center!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you shouldn't be worried, but you shouldn't do that every day!. At least spread them out over the whole day!. I think the Maximum dose is 10 a day!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
