I had back surgery a few months ago and they gave me hydrcodine tabs for pain, but for some reason when I take them, they make my heart speed up to about 120bpm. I already have nerve problems like shaking and stuff but these things send me through the roof, not in a good way. Does this happen to anyone else? Or, does anyone know why they do that?

Stop taking them, inform your doctor, and get a new script.

Definitely change; there are some immensely powerful paracetemol versions on the market that, provided your liver and kidneys are in good shape, are incredibly effective. Codeine acts directly on your nervous system and palpitations, hypertension and tachycardia are known side effects.
