Sounds ok for adult: Such a one-time incident sounds ok for an adult who has not had any prior problems taking either ibuprofen or taking naproxen. However, a larger dose that usual can lead to a tummy ache. Hopefully, the tummy ache doesn't happen.

2 many NSAIDs: While you overdid it in the amount of NSAID you accidentally took, I wouldn’t consider this an emergent/dire situation. Let the day pass, see how you feel, don’t take anymore of these medications or any other NSAIDs for now and follow-up with your local doctor tomorrow.
