Brief Answer:
Could cause fall in bp

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer.
Taking extra dose of antihypertensive medication can cause fall in bp.
So keep monitoring your bp & keep yourself well hydrated.
If the bp falls very much or you feel dizzy, drink some water with salt and go to the hospital, which i expect won't be required.
Take precautions in future.
Thanks & take care

Brief Answer:
You can sleep

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
You can sleep comfortably. Don't worry. But before sleeping just check your bp. Drink adequate water. And just before sleeping take a glass of water with some salt in it.
In case you get up in night, check bp at that time & finally in the morning when you get up.
Don't worry nothing will happen, but be safe in future.
If you have any more question, I'll be happy to answer or if you are satisfied you can choose to close the discussion.
Thanks & take care
