Signs of a Medication Overdose to Look Out for

A medication overdose occurs when you take too high of a dose or too much medication. It is even possible to experience an overdose when taking too much over-the-counter medication. Symptoms of an overdose include nausea, headaches, vomiting, fainting, and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Here are some of the warning signs of an overdose to look out for:

• Drowsiness and Confusion
  

  Medicines work by replacing deficient substances in the body, destroying abnormal cells, or changing the way cells work in the body. Too much medication in the system can create imbalances in the body, leading to fatigue, confusion, and drowsiness.

• Difficulty Breathing
  

  Medication overdose can increase blood pressure leading to chest pains and shortness of breath, making breathing difficult. If you are experiencing shortness of breath after taking medicine, you should sit down, drink water, and contact your doctor immediately.

• Loss of Coordination
  

  Medication overdose can affect the chemical balance in the brain, leading to loss of coordination, focus, and balance. It can also cause fatigue and nausea.
