So for the past week I have been taking tramadol and don't know if this us related to the meds because when I don't take them I still feel the symptoms. I've been nauseous, low appetite, headache, short of breath,lightheaded, have had hiccups a lot, and very tired weak. I am so tired of feeling sick please help me figure out what is wrong

Tramadol has a long list of adverse side-effects. It is also an addictive medication that acts very much like an opiate. Please talk to your prescribing physician and make sure that it is the right medication for you. Please read my blog about Tramadol by clicking on my name in blue and then "Blogs". It is especially interesting to read the numerous comments it got. Ask your doctor about other, non-opioid  ways of dealing with your pain and get another opinion. My best wishes.
