What Causes Vomiting And Dizziness After Taking Paracetamol 500mg Tablet And Nurofen Tablet?

Yesterday I took 20 500g paracetamol tablets and 10 nurofens. Have been vomiting quite often since then and was experiencing dizziness and head rushes when I tried to walk. Today I still feel nauseous but have stopped vomiting. Should I go to hospital, or did the vomiting most likely flush out the pills?
