Hello, Anon.

Thank you for your post.

Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 3-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. It can cause your period to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow, so be aware of this. If you don’t get your next period within a week of its expected date you can test for pregnancy, although the risk is very low.

I'm not sure why you took 4 pills. One pill should be taken within 72 hours, the sooner the better, and the second pill should be taken 12 hours after the first.
