What are the symptoms of Barrett’s esophagus?

Barrett’s esophagus does not cause symptoms. But you can watch for signs of the conditions it’s associated with — heartburn and acid regurgitation.

Heartburn that occurs at least twice a week is the biggest red flag. Heartburn symptoms include a burning sensation in the chest and vomit in the back of the throat (acid regurgitation).

Other symptoms to watch for include:

• Heartburn that worsens or wakes you from sleep.
• Painful or difficult swallowing.
• Sensation of food stuck in your esophagus.
• Constant sore throat, sour taste in your mouth or bad breath.
• Unintentional weight loss.
• Blood in stool.
• Vomiting.
