Overdosing on drugs effects the whole body of the person taking the drugs. Large amounts of one kind of drug may cause only minimal effects, where a smaller amount of a different medication could cause a worse effect or even death. Small doses of a medication are even more deadly to a younger child.
Some symptoms of an overdose are vital sign problems. Such as, blood pressure or your heart rate. These can be increased, decreased, or just stop completely. Another symptoms is drowsiness, being confused, or going into a coma. The skin can also be sweaty and cold or hot and dry, and chest pain may occur. Lastly, vomiting, stomach pains, or nausea are common signs of drug overdose. What other symptoms do you know of?
