Can hydrocodone make your heart beat faster?

Hydrocodone: It should not, usually pain will make your heart beat faster and if you are taking it for pain then it make your heart slow down and lower your blood pressure.

Unlikely: Hydrocodone belongs to the opioid family of medications. Opioids typically cause bradycardia, or a slow heart rate.

Unlikely: Hydrocodone activates mu receptors in the brain, which increase parasmypathtic output originating in the nucleus ambiguus where premotor cardiac parasympathetic nucleus ambiguus neurons are located. Thus there is bradycardia as a result
