can tramadol cause shortness of breath
You should discus this with your doctor. Your pharmacist may be a good resource as well. Tramadol is an opiod. Those can cause shortness of breath in some people. You may be more prone to that with your COPD. I have severe asthma though and I take opiods at least weekly for back pain. I have no problem with it. It just depends on how your body reacts to it.
