Brief Answer:
Please take her to the nearest hospital/emergency room.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Chlorthalidone is a blood pressure lowering medicine and if taken excessively it will cause cardiac arrhythmias and electrolyte imbalance.

It is a medical emergency and should be handled properly at an emergency room.

Please call 911 or ambulance or if the ER is close by you can take her by yourself.

I hope this answers your concern. Wishing speedy recovery to your wife.
