Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed your information fully. There is nothing to worry about. You are fine and all you should do now is watch out if anything else comes up: Severe headaches, blur vision, excessive sleepiness, and vomiting. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about. There is no need fro any additional treatment or investigations.

Best wishes and feel free to follow up with me if need be.
