Does Regular Intake Of Hydrocodone For Shredded Miniscus Cause Breathing Problem
HiDr. I am a 68 yr old woman who had a flash edema in April. I am slowly recovering from that, but take 7.5 hydrocodone 3x a day for a shredded miniscus on my knee. Lately I have been having some pretty bad breathing problems, with my pulse ox level dropping to 87-88. I have oxygen at home that I don t use often, but I do get on it when I can t breathe, like today. Can the hydrocodone be causing the breathing problem?

Hello,
It is not related to hydrocodone.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
