Brief Answer:
Please call 911

Detailed Answer:
This sounds potentially serious. Your blood pressure and other vital signs need to be checked in addition to a thorough physical examination. Considering the blood glucose level is fine, there are other possible reasons for you to feel like this.
For example, the Norco can lower blood pressure and cause breathing trouble if the dose is on the higher side for a given person. You require emergency medical care
