A member asked:

I took a pill called labetalol i thought i was something else i started to feel light headed shaking hands heart racing what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing : If you just took one time dose , you better be patient as the effect of labetolol hangs around for 6-12 hours only ... It may manifest side effects of what you have mentioned but less likely a racing heart at it usually slows down the pulse ...
