Shortness of breath? I've had a few days where I feel so short of breath and lightheaded. Does anyone else have this problem? I am taking 100 MGs and I am on week seven .

      Shortness of breath is very common with stress/anxiety get it myself the best thing you can do is pay know attention to it the more you think about it the worse it will get try and do something to take your mind of it anything really it does go away just remember nothing is going to happen to you

    hi michelle how is your anxiety, is it under check or do you have anxiety at the moment?

    i did have dizziness myself about a month or so into sertraline, but it cleared up itself after a couple of days

    perhaps give it a day or so to see if it is just a temporary thing which will pass

      I have anxiety almost everyday still but at the time I had none ! Probably just another side effect.

      i'd give it a couple of days hopefully it will just pass on its own (there could certainly be some more adjusting going on at 7 weeks in... 8-12 weeks is often the sweet spot for many people including myself, where things settle down nicely biggrin

      hope u have a nice day tomorrow!
