May have accidentally poisoned my MD? Worried??

I have this weird hormonal thing and I take this medicine in syrup form for it. I usually mix it in a can of lacroix and sip on it through the day (sometime I go heavy in hopes that it'll get me a little high. Idk if that actually works but maybe there's a placebo effect). My MD came by my desk to chat yesterday evening with a lacroix and when he left, I think he accidentally switched our drinks and took mine back with him. The syrup isn't super strongly flavored so with a lime or grapefruit lacroix it's basically undetectable. I know this stuff is pretty heavy and has a ton of adverse effects when combined with other medicines (I think my MD is on some heart medicine).

Now today he isn't in the office and I haven't heard from him or seen any responses to any emails and I'm starting to get worried. I want to check in on him but don't want to sound like I'm worrying too much or look bad. What should I do and how bad could this get??

As an analyst, it would be appropriate to express concern for your MD's well-being and to inquire about his condition. It would be best to contact him or a colleague who may have more information about his whereabouts and condition. However, it's also important to take responsibility for your actions and to inform him about the accidental switch of the medications. It would be best to do this in a professional and non-accusatory manner. It's possible that the combination of the two medications may cause adverse effects, but without knowing the specifics of the medications, it's difficult to determine how severe the consequences could be. It's important to seek medical advice if you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your colleague.
