Yes I also have that but this is week 5 for me. I take zoloft 50. What is your dosage. You might want to talk to your doctor about your side affects. He or she might want to lower it . Don't suffer with this. Let your doctor do his job.

While it is not definite your chest pains are caused by Sertraline, the meds impact a lot of bodily functions. My cholesterol went up on Sertraline - you could also check yours?

For some it can be a side effect that resolves or it can come on at time of increasing dose but usually settles down or it can be dose related (too high).
Or in your case it could be breakthrough anxiety and perhaps you need an increase.
I’ve had chest pressure even when my mind is calm since starting the drug. I know believe my dose is too high so I’m currently reducing it slowly- just reduced 5 days ago from 100 to 75mg. Total duration now for me is 3 months.
If it doesn’t resolve I’ll wean off it.
Good luck.... if you’re really worried go to your GP or the ER.

I too get this weird feeling of not being able to breath and like fluttering in the top of my chest. It is definitely anxiety with me. It happens when I over think stuff or do anything strenuous. Have you tried deep breathing.
I have just gone up to 150mg and have been on sert for 5 months. Doctor says I'm to try 150mg for 4 weeks and if I'm still not happy he may try something else. Can't say I'm happy about having to reduce after reading people's experiences on here.
Good luck
