Dear Patient,
if a 77 year old takes several valium and nitroglycerine this can have an effect on breathing and heart function and even lead to coma or sudden death. Since ut is not clear how many he took, i suggest calling 911 that will be the safest thing to do. Other than that there is not much you can do unfortunately. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
