Brief Answer:
Watch for fall in blood pressure, dizziness. Blood pressure monitoring
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Usually a blood pressure monitoring is advised 2-3 hourly. Most of the people tolerate this accidental high dose, though slight fall in blood pressure, dizziness may be experienced. But it is better to inform it to your consulting physician.
But occasionally some people may experience significant symptoms, which is also dependent on the concomitant medical problems like heart ailment etc.
Kindly be careful in the future.
You can take the future dose as advised if there is no much changes in blood pressure.
Hope this helps
Take care
