You should probably contact poison control just to be safe. You may have side effects such as headache, leg cramps, tremors, feeling nervous or irritable, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fast or pounding heartbeats. Poison control phone number is 1-800-222-1222. You don't have to worry, but it is good to be on the safe side here.
