As mentioned above, isosorbide monititrate is a type of nitrate. This class of drugs is commonly used to treat heart disease. They work by causing blood vessels to expand. Headache is a common side effect. Too much nitrates may cause low blood pressure, dizziness, and chest pain. Unfortunately, there are different formulations of isosorbide mononitrtate, and you may have taken an extended release form.
I suggest you contact your local poison control for more information or 1-800-POISONS. They will be better able to instruct you on warning signs after accidental overdose and proper treatment. If your symptoms worsen, call 911.
isosorbide is in a class of nitrates. This explains why you had a very bad head ache. The good part is that it has a very short half life. (if it has been longer than 1 hr, it is probably out of you system). As far as the ankle pain, that must be another cause. Just be more careful when choosing medications.
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Hotline at 1-800-222-1222. Symptoms of overdose may include: Persistent throbbing headache, fainting, confusion, fever, siow/irregular heartbeat, vision changes, severe nausea/vomiting, sweating, shortness of breath, cold/clammy skin, seizures.
Isosorbide Dinitrate: The medication relaxes blood vessels allowing more blood to flow through. This improves blood flow to the heart. Oral dose forms are used to prevent angina ( chest pain ). This medication is NOT for treating an attack of chest pain that is already happening. Good luck and best wishes.
