Will Tramadol cause esophagus problems?

Hi... Ive been using tramadol for years and i was just diagnosed with barrett's esophagus. But i also took advill as well. Now Dr has me on protonix and i still take 1 tramadol a day. No more nsaids. Good luck

I dont think so ut im seeing my GI tomorrow so I will ask him.

I take tramadol and also have just been diagnosed w Barrett’s esophagus and GERD. I asked if tramadol would’ve caused - answer from my GI was no but NSAIDS will cause esophagus issues and Barretts. I used to take like candy due to pain issues.

Very good question. I took tramadol in the past and now I have Barrett Esophagus. I am not sure if the medication caused this condition. I will ask my GI and ENT doctor on my next appointment. My suggestion is to talk with your doctor about it.

I occasionally have problems swallowing as well. Like I'm unable to swallow voluntarily. Best to eat BEFORE taking Tramadol. Imo

Hello Becky carol
Although I never took tramadol, I am definitely not a pro at all on this med..with that being said... I suggest you see a gi... I have the save issue, and not saying this is what you have, but I have acid reflux, gerd, and a hiatal hernia... so it wouldn't hurt to do and endoscopy to see what's going on down there to be on the safe side... good luck/ keep us updated...

Hi, the only thing i can think of is when i used to take Tramadol capsules, and if not taken with enough fluids they would get stuck during their way down my oesophagus causing a burning sensation...

While it can cause nausea, swallowing problems aren't part of the side effects. You should probably talk to your dr about it.
