Hi,
Yes, in addition to short breath and sweating the oxycodone overdose can also cause low blood pressure, weak pulse, drowsiness, constipation, vomiting, and bluish-colored fingernails and lips.
I advise you to go the emergency room of your nearby hospital so that a proper assessment can be done and treatment can be given accordingly.
You will be closely monitored and treated to maintain vitals like breathing, heart rate, and body temperature. If breathing has stopped, a drug called naloxone may be administered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
