I found three ways to say "If I'm too exposed to the sun, I get a headache".
Can you confirm that these three sentences are right? And if there are some
nuances between them?

  * 太陽を浴びすぎると頭が痛くなります。
  * 太陽に当たりすぎると頭が痛くなります。
  * 太陽を受けすぎると頭が痛くなります。

To be hit by the sun verb
First and second way looks fine but third one seems to be a bit weird for me.

As a Japanese perspective, there's no different between them, it's just
another way to say that.

It could be improved though, since original sentence has "I", so:
"私は太陽の光を浴びすぎると頭が痛くなります" for formal way, or

"(insert your favorite first-person word like 僕 or 私 or
俺)、太陽を浴びすぎると頭が痛くなるんだよね" for more casual way.

The first two are fine, but the third sounds slightly awkward to me. The verb
受ける goes better with 日光 or 直射日光 than 太陽. Although 太陽を受ける _is_ used with the
same meaning as (直射) 日光を受ける, it takes on a slight poetic sound when used for a
person. It brings an image of someone facing the sun with their arms wide
open.

Both 日光 and 直射日光 would work fine with the first two sentences, as well. There
is also 太陽光, but it sounds more scientific than 日光 or 直射日光.
