I think I almost went into respiratory arrest?

First, let me start with my drug use over the past few days.
Yesterday was alcohol and molly which could have been MDA.
Today in the morning I ingested 25mg of hydrocodone. Then about 2 hours ago 25 mg more. I was lying in bed and my breathing got real shallow but I was trying to sleep and felt tired. Then noticed that I actually stopped breathing for what seemed like 30seconds or so. So I laid on my back and began taking deep breaths. Getting drowsy again, my muscles suddenly siezed up and jolted me awake. I think this was my body trying to get me to get the fuck up. One more attempt at sleep and I noticed my breathing was really shallow. Scared, I got on my computer and had a cigarette. As I'm typing this I kind of have to remember to breathe.
I don't know why this would happen, 50mg of hydrocodone is not alot and the 25 I did earlier was 10 hours ago. Another cause I considered was nicotine. I've smoked around 7 or 8 cigarettes in the past hour (I like to smoke cigarettes when I do opiates). What do you guys think?

I quickly looked into the signs of nicotine overdose and actually fit the bill kind of closely.
ymptoms & Signs
* Muscular twitching * Weakness * Convulsions * Coma * Fainting * Difficulty breathing * Rapid breathing * No breathing * Abdominal cramps * Vomiting * Drooling (increased salivation) * Burning sensation in mouth * Rapid and pounding heartbeat followed by slow heart rate * Elevated blood pressure followed by decreased blood pressure * Confusion * Depression * Headache * Agitation, restlessness, or excitement

Yeah. I smoke about a pack a day. But I figure I smoked about 7-9 cigarettes with about 5 minutes in between. IMO that's alot and could cause some symptoms of nicotine OD.

maybe....
but i been chain smoking like mad tonight.....ive had probably 5 since my last post in this thread.....and i feel fine. im guessing that what you felt had more to do with the opiates than with the nicotine. glad you are still alive and posting and what not, even though what you did wasnt that much at all. could this be a possible red flag? maybe a check up with the doc is in order...
