Hello, Jim! How are you feeling? Did you suffer any adverse effects?

Doubling up on the blood pressure/cardiac medications could result in dangerously lowered blood pressure and heart rate, which may require medical attention, especially at your age, since it could cause you to be more sensitive to the effects of medications.

For future reference for anyone, if you've done something like this and fear for your health or life, please seek medical attention or contact poison control immediately. While there are those of us online that are always happy to help, if we can, we are unable to administer life-saving procedures, should they be necessary.
