Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Headache is a common side effect of Nexium affecting upto 10% of the users.
Spitting may be related to water brash, a common occurrence in people with Gastroesophageal reflux. Bronchospasm and asthma are very rare ( less than 1% ) Rarely it also produces emotional disorder like anxiety and depression which can manifest as dry mouth.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
