10 Side Effects of Tramadol

Tramadol Side Effect #9: Increased Heart Beat
When resting, our hearts beat at around 60-100 beats a minute although this is likely to be lower for particularly fit individuals. The heartbeat rate is likely to increase during exercise as the body needs more oxygen and nutrients, but it will usually remain at a steady rate otherwise.
One side effect of tramadol, though, is to increase the rate at which our heart beats even at rest. The patient will often feel this as the heart fluttering and it can become quite alarming in some cases. If your heart is beating at dangerously high levels, you should consider treating it as a medical emergency.
