Is this anxiety or something else?

Question

I am having back problems and the doctor put me on pain medication (Percocet). I hate taking it because I am afraid of overdosing, even though I am taking the prescribed amount. I just took my pain medicine & I am having a feeling in my chest & I feel like I'm unable to take a good deep breath (but I can talk normally, where if I was actually having trouble breathing, I  would have  trouble talking as well), some tightness in my chest & I'm sleepy. I had a full cardiac work up for a surgery that I had done 4 years ago, so I had no congenital heart problems. I'm almost 27 years old, a female & I am overweight. I asked my Mother & she said that I'm young to have a heart attack without any previous cardiac history (my Mom is a nurse). Is she right? Is this anxiety? Or do I need to call an ambulance?

First of all you need to calm down. It's not anxiety and you don't need to call an ambulance as well.

Have you checked the prospectus ? You probably should read the side effects if it says your problem there or not. If not I recommend seing a doctor.

But you do not have to worry that much because having to take pills is usualy depressive as hell trust me I know that.
