Taking 12 tablets of Aldactone 50 mg is a potentially dangerous overdose. Uneasiness in the heart may be due to potassium or blood-pressure changes and cannot be assessed safely online. I strongly advise urgent in-person evaluation today.

Aldactone leads to k retention and sodium and water loss.High potassium can affect the electophysiological functions of the heart and lead to cardiac dysfunction.ECG variations like tall peaked T waves are seen.Go to a hospital where they’ll monitor your heart Ang give medicines and drips to lower your potassium level

Taking 12 tablets of Aldactone together can affect your heart's rhythm. Feeling this uneasiness two days later needs to be checked as an emergency, not watched at home.
Next Steps
Please go to the nearest emergency room today for an ECG and a blood test. Don't wait to see if it settles on its own.
Health Tips
An overdose of this medicine can raise your potassium and affect your heart. Please don't take any more tablets until a doctor reviews this.
