[|Human|] My 90 year old father fell and fractured vertebrae in his neck. Otherwise in excellent health, hospital gave him Norco and things went downhill from there, including a frib, depressed breathing and heart rate, esophagus closed and lost ability to swallow and was disoriented. Could. Norco have precipited this?
[|AI|]  Hello ! Thank you for the question. I understand your concern. In my opinion the troubles you describe are more related to the cervical spine trauma than to Nor co. You should know that the spine of the cervical region is very important for our body. It contains the main regions that control lour breathing and the cardiac function. Damage at these level can cause cardio-respiratory failure, and it is the main cause of death in persons with cervical trauma. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
