May be from Meds: I see on your profile that you are taking hydrocdone and pentazocine both schedule IV drugs together these are two strong narcotics and we do not know in what dose you are taking.You should check with your doctor who prescribed these mepds if you still need these.Also you have cough and symtoms of gasping for air etc.Which needs to be addressed as well.
