Probably yes: Many blood pressure (BP) meds would be tolerated well if an extra one was taken, though the double dose can lower the BP too much, resulting in dizziness/lightheadedness/fainting, so monitor your pressure closely, drink extra fluids, & avoid strenuous activities & driving if possible, or have someone with you. If you feel badly do call your Dr

Missed BP Dose: Depending on the BP medicine, probably. If no adverse symptoms almost certainly. You might recycle your question with the name and dose. Look on the label on the bottle. Additionally, do you have a BP cuff and take your own BP occasionally? Is your high blood pressure on the high end and or has it been hard to control? If any problem developed, please call your regular BP doctor.

Likely: There is some margin for such an error without problems with most BP meds. If you are light headed or seem weak it may be a subtle sign of lower blood pressure than you usually have but you may not have any effect at all.
