Painkillers, particularly opioids, can cause labored breathing by depressing the central nervous system, which controls respiratory functions. These medications can reduce the brain's sensitivity to carbon dioxide levels, leading to slower and shallower breathing. In some cases, they may also cause muscle relaxation, further impairing the respiratory muscles. This can result in inadequate oxygen intake and difficulty breathing, especially in higher doses.
