A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dopamine: is a naturally occurring substance. Accidental administration can cause irregular or fast heart rate, high blood pressure, maybe headache. It is metabolized very quickly, it's half life is about 2 minutes. So no treatment is really needed unless the heart rate, high blood pressure is severe. Since you are communicating with us now, it seems it all turned out fine. You can put it behind you.
