I just had surg in June and morphine tanked my BP. Scared the c*** out of the Anestiologist.
I told her if you want my bp to go up stop the morphine.
Now I put it down as adverse reaction drug.
How anyone can take that crap is beyond me.
I had a bad experience with morphine too. 5 years ago I was bucked off a horse (was mine, not anymore though). He bucked like a pro, and I stayed on more than the 8 seconds I’d have needed in a rodeo. I flew pretty well, but landed poorly, breaking 3 ribs, punctured a lung, dislocated a shoulder.
Anyway, I was in the ICU for 3 days. They gave me a morphine drip. The first morning I was looking forward to eating breakfast. After I ate the rather good breakfast, my stomache felt like a volcano about to erupt.
I had 3 broken ribs. Hurling was not an option. I sat so still and concentrated on not hurling.
I didn’t.
However I asked if morphine could cause that reaction and it could.
That’s my morphine story. Never taking that again. I’d rather be in pain. I don’t even think it touched the pain I had anyway.
Morphine, just say “No!”.
