Last week I was prescribed some sertraline. I've had citalopram before which I didn't tolerate.
So I took tablets on two days. First day was semi ok apart from being major spaced out. Second day I suddenly felt like I couldn't breath. It felt like my chest was being crushed. Every time I moved I had cold waves run through my body and couldn't breath, even if I took a deep breath this happened and my tongue would tingle.
So I stopped the tablets and was prescribed some diazepam after being checked over. I've been taking three 2mg a day and my breathing issues have eased but still there though not to the extreme.
I was doing school run today and again felt like I couldn't breath, legs went like jelly, lightheaded and thought I would vomit. This is with the diazepam as well.
Surely these tablets calm the panic? They worked for me a few years ago so I'm thinking that actually maybe its a problem with my heart or blood gases or something.
I've been checked over twice and told ok. Got an ECG on Friday.
Every time I stand up or go upstairs or walk or see anyone I can't breath.
I'm at the end of my tether. I feel like something dreadful is going to happen to me.
I just sat here earlier and felt tightening in my chest and then cold chills all over my body and in my groin. Tingling.
Sorry for the long ramble bit wondered if anyone might know what's going on.
I thought it may be themeds but they will have worked out my system by now as the last I took was Friday morning.
