Can the Side Effect of Pain Relief Patches Cause Serious or Permanent Problems?
Question by xoxo: Can the side effect of pain relief patches cause serious or permanent problems?
My nan was taken into hospital last night with side effects from pain relief patches and kept in. She was being sick, had high blood pressure and was very disoriented. I’d like to know if anyone knows what could be wrong. Could this cause any serious problems? Should I be worried?
I heared a doctor say that they are investivating c.d.a (or at least it sounded like that to me), does anyone know what this is? I’ve google it and found nothing. I may have missheared but am hoping that someone with medical knowlegde may understand what he was saying.

The meds in a pain patch are as much as 80 times stronger then morphine. I refused them myself and due to living in pain I a on Morphine sulphate instead. Yes, some people can have a bad attack with these. It’s strange she didn’t notice it right away and take it off. Once it clears the body she should be O.K.

The side effects of the pain relief patches can cause serious problems if it is an indication that she could be allergic to them (an example only).
I would recommend checking with the doctor who prescribed them as well to see what they say.
