Aspirin Overdose

Many of us with out knowing the side effects just pop up an aspirin after a hectic day. I felt that we should be aware of this the next time we take this drug. I have rolled some side effects, have a look at it.

Some Side effects and dangers of an overdose of Aspirin are as follows:

  • Upset stomach associated with pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sometimes ulcer is caused in the stomach which is referred to as gastritis. This may be a consequence of a lot of vomiting.
  • Heartburn is a very common side effect to this drug overdose.
  • Indigestion
  • Stomach irritation is caused which eventually leads to bleeding from the stomach consequently leading to black colored stools.
  • Fatigue
  • Slight fever
  • Confusion state of mind
  • The overdosed patients may collapse all of a sudden.
