What are the symptoms of barretts esophagus?

None: The symptoms of reflux are well known. Barretts per se has no symptoms. It is a step on the way to cancer. If you have gerd, reflux, heartburn or other issues like these you need to be checked. Barrettes is the step below cancer.

Maybe none: Maybe chronic heartburn or acid reflux or no symptoms. Barrett's esophagus itself is cell changes seen on a biopsy, and these cell changes would have no symptoms by itself. Only way to watch is by endoscopy & biopsy.

Heart burn: Heart burn, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, lung infection, anemia from bleeding.

Barrett's symptoms: Barretts esophagus in and of itself is asymptomatic and diagnosed by a combination of endoscopic findings and presence of intestinal metaplasia from an esophageal biopsy specimen. 75% of patient's typically have prolonged (e.g. 10 year) history of reflux symptoms (e.g. Heartburn and regurgitations) and the remaining 25% are discovered at endoscopy and have never had esophageal reflux symptoms.

Barrett's.: This is a change in the esophagus in response to longstanding reflux. It is a precancerous change which requires frequent surveillance EGDs to make sure cancer is not developing. It does not cause symptoms, but you would have symptoms from longstanding reflux.

Heartburn or none: Patient with heartburn tend to have barrett's more commonly but a good portion of patients with barretts are asymptomatic.
