Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I would guess it depends on the med. Some pain meds work by slowing the central nervous system which would impact breathing. I & #39;ve been admitted to ICU 4 times in the past 6 months for other medical issues and my oxygen levels drop to the 70s after the pain med dilauded. Not sure that & #39;s the correct spelling. My peak flows were the least of my concerns when I was that sick but I & #39;d certainly guess they were affected.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I agree. I think it depends on what type of pain med they gave you. Also pain can bring on asthma symptoms and lower your #s. I would check the med they gave you on a side effects website, or call your pharmacist or dr to be sure. I know many pain meds can lower your blood pressure and your O2 sats. Hope your head is feeling better!!! Kathleen > > Do they cause a drop in your peak flow numbers: I fella few days ago and > > ended up with 5 staples in the back of my head, hurt, yeah.
