Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
this is not related to oxycodon intake or witdrawal, this may be side effect of surgical procedure or there may be lung and heart issues such as pneumonia or pneumothorax so you should see doctor and do lung xrays as soon as possible to rule these out.
Wish you good health. Regards
