Ever get SEVERE chest pain on vicodin?

About 5 years ago , I was 25. I was partying maybe 3-4 times per week on vicodin 10mg pills. I built up a decent tolerance as sometimes I would drop up to 12 pills in a night. The usual amount though was around 6 or so. I remember on 2 instances , I had absolutely excruciating pain in my chest. I also was gasping for air , and sweating . I thought it was the end man . I remember thinking of my mother.. The weird thing is , those 2 times , I only fropped about 4 pills. I'm thinking it was either a heart attack or panic attack. It was weird because it happened twice in the same week.Like , I'm talkin REDICULOUS PAIN and my heart rate was slow as hell.Anyone ever experience this??? Thanks guys.

I had a bad 4 month (every day issue) with ultram about 2 years ago, but the withdrawals scared the hell out of me so I stopped. Havent touched anything since and I won't . I still think about those 2 instances where I thought I was gunna die on the vicodin though . I wonder what the hell it was ...

Well vicodin slows your heart rate and your breathing. So that could happen.
