Pain killers and respiratory problems

Why has my doctor never advised me of this respiratory issue caused by the pain killer medication. I have been prescribed for 6 years now. I have noticed that my breathing is very shallow since finding out about the possible effects of using this medication. My last visit, I noticed that he couldn't locate a pulse when taking my blood pressure on my right arm. I truly don't think he found one on my left arm either but he said nothing. This is the reason I have researched this to find out this news. Is this guy harming me. 80 mg Oxycotin 11 tablets per day... I am scared to death. I advised him that I'm afraid that I have become a serious addict to this medication and his response was well, you are but you are a legal addict. Please tell me what you think. Thanks SP
