Whenever i take a narcotic my face turns pale. is there a reason for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Physiologically speaking the narcotic may reduce your blood pressure a bit causing a reaction where you constrict the vessils to maintain an adequate pressure thus the face looses some of its color. Best guess, its not a known side affect of narcotics
