I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?

It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.
