Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Quinapril 20 mg is an anti-hypertensive drug of ACE-inhibitor class. The overdose you took (3 pills) might cause hypotension, with the following symptoms:
- fainting
- lightheadedness

I advise to call US National Poison Hotline at 1-800-222-1222 or 911 to check for your vital signs and keep you under observation until safe.

Hope it helped!
