A member asked:

Can an overdose of nitroglycerin cause death?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rarely: You are more likely to end up turning blue and getting the worst headache of your life. Deaths in this setting are uncommon. Among physically healthy people who have made serious attempts on their lives, 99% are pleased, one year later, that they failed.
