Suggest Treatment For Light Headedness And Lethargy

I had an issue today with getting very light headed hot and sweaty along with problems with my vision and very lethargic. It was about 15 minutes after I ate. I was worried that I may have accidentaly taken double of my listinopril as they look very close to other pills i take but all the problems were about 5 hours after taking my medicine. Any thoughts?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

An overdose of the blood pressure medication would mainly cause a further decrease in blood pressure.

Low blood pressure would present dizziness, lightheaded sensation, shortness of breath, weakness, clammy skin.

It is possible , if you used an overdose that it is responsible for the symptoms that you experienced.

I hope this helps
