I’m not sure if “turning white/pale” is an exaggeration or if people actually do turn pale in certain situations. I’ve never witnessed it myself, anyone here who has?

I wonder too about something I saw that still kind of haunts me. It was 12 years ago, I was dating a guy who was unfortunately relapsing into drug addiction. He was ~~railing~~ taking large amounts of oxycodone, dealing with a whopping nine kidney stones at once, and his sanity was… gone. I came home to him one day and noticed he was clammy and cold, really agitated AND seemed afraid, sweating, and his skin had turned from reddish-tan to an almost grayish white color. I suspected he had gone a little too hard on those pills when I was gone. The skin coloring went back to normal within an hour or so (he took a hot shower). That relationship ended shortly after this when he decided to add alcohol to his routine and he turned violent, assaulted me and his mother, went to jail for it.
I wonder now – what made his skin turn that color? Was he like, right on the edge of an overdose? Was it related to the kidney stones?
