What Causes Chest Pain And Wheezing After Taking Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen?

I had to take hydrocon-acetaminophen 7.5-325 after a wisdom tooth extraction coupled with other antibiotics. I am experiencing pain in my chest, a internal wheezing sound when breathing face up. Slow and short breath intakes which make it very difficult to rest at night. To make matters worse, as soon as I stopped taking it I started having excessive pain throughout my body and starting sweating excessively during the night. The 2 latter symptoms have stopped, but the shortness of breath and the chest pain have not. I am also starting to cough. And if that weren t bad enough I have sleep apnea. I told this to the dentist along with the other side effects I was experiencing, but he simply brushed it off as something else.... I would like to know if I have pneumonia or something worse to deal with now besides my sleep apnea, gout and the fact that I cannot rest at night because I am breathing very slowly and shallowly...

Hello,

Most probably it is due to bronchospasm.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
