Brief Answer:
NO major problems! I suggest you monitor your blood pressure closely!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you experienced this morning. Honestly, monitoring is the best way to go now. I don't think there are any huge risk associated with this at this time. If you feel any dizziness, lack of energy, low blood pressure numbers, then seek for help. If you don't, do not get any more tensed about it.

I will recommend you continue tomorrow with the drugs as recommend by your doctor without any interruptions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
