Brief Answer:
Nothing will happen to you

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood your concerns.

You have been given 30 mg of liquid morphine yesterday and you were fine with the dose. For last 4 hours you are without any symptoms or side effects of morphine overdose. So there is nothing to worry, you will be fine.

If you develop any of these symptoms consult your doctor immediately:
- Excessive drowsiness, sleepiness and clouding of consciousness.
- Sweating and difficulty in breathing.
- Pounding heart and rapid heartbeats

You will be fine and do better, Don't worry.

Hope I have answered your query.
