Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft side effects shortness of breath

zoloft

Avatar n tn As lagoya mentioned, you may or may not experience side effects. If so, they range from annoying side effects to serious side effects. If it's helpful, when I took flecainide, I had weird dreams, shakiness, tremors and gastointestinal problems. It wasn't horrible, but it was bothersome enough that the doctor switched me to rhythmol. Great suggestion from lagoya on checing out the medication under "Health Topics" above.
Avatar m tn Shortness of breath is a major symptom of anxiety. Coupled with anxiety you recognize....is probably a physical manifestation. Wish I could recommend an antidepressant. Since radiation and chemo for anal cancer, I have 0 toleration for Effexor, Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, etc. Several were ok when tried years ago...now extreme side effects, which make them unsuitable. Everyone is different, so hope you will give meds a try. I have never taken Ativan...but many here do.
Avatar f tn I have been taking zoloft for 10 days now and I feel really anxious and nervous, I feel shortness of breath can anyone tell me if these are side effects and if they will go away. I don't know if I should stop taking it I just lost my insurance so I can't go back to the dr that prescribed them for me can anyone help me. Right now I'm also taking levaquin, and medrol and norvasc, enalapril. Can I still take my ativan for the anxiety. Any anwers will be greatly appreciated thank you.
Avatar f tn The NP told me this happens unfortunately-the unpleasant side effects trying to find the right med. The shortness of breath is still there and I am still not sure why- if it's anxiety or something else. My Internist said lungs and heart clear and I had a pulmonary function test that showed normal-good results. I'm thinking it could be an allergy reaction to being in the house so much this nasty winter as I live in indiana & have been in the dry ,heated house for longer than usual.
Avatar m tn Immediately, I felt a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath after taking. I googled acetylcysteine and one of the side effects was shortness of breath and tightness of chest. I have an appointment to see my doctor in 2 weeks (retired vet....appointments these days are hard to get) meanwhile I'm wondering if there are others who have experienced this the drug acetylcysteine with the same side effects. I stop using it 3 days ago until I see my doctor.
1211508 tn?1343079605 just curious when you started taking Zoloft vs. when you started having the shortness of breath while exercising issue. as I had developed shortness of breath while exercising (something I've never had in the past) and had been attributing it to the aging process but I have recently tapered off Zoloft and have been pleasantly surprised to be experiencing a lessening of this mild breathing issue during exercise.
Avatar n tn While it may be nothing very serious, dyspnea or shortness of breath can be an allergic reaction affecting the respiratory system and can become fatal. This shortness of breath can also be due to hypoglycemia cause by Levaquin. Please call up your doctor urgently and do not take the next dose until you have spoken to the doctor and have been examined by him. Take care!
Avatar f tn did give me samples of xyzal which work really well, but the Pristiq was another story. Yesterday was my first day on it, and I woke up today gasping for air, and have had shortness of breath off and on since. My doc just told me to stop taking it and go back to sertraline, however I had already taken the pristiq, so we'll see what happens. Some really good news though is that I was able to use some tips from my therapist to shorten the panic attack I got from the sudden loss of breath.
Avatar n tn After having radiation, I get some painful heartburn right under my breast where my ribs almost meet. Is this common? I also have shortness of breath and when I cough, I sound like I have a smokers cough. My cough is not chronic. Is this common? I would love some answers. Thanks so much.

Avatar f tn Sometimes I get shortness of breath for no reason at all. I think this is different from the MS hug (although today I had/have both) because my lungs just feel like they're not getting enough air. Sometimes it's because of hypotension - changing from upright to sitting, or vice versa. Today it was just a low-level shortness, that lasted until it turned into an MS hug. (Or spasms of the intercostal muscles - whatever it was, it was painful.
Avatar m tn The doc gave me some darvacets and I THINK they are giving me shortness of breath. I also, take 1 soma350 a day now and two zanaflex at night to relax my twitches Has anyone else had these symptoms?
Avatar f tn yes, shortness of breath especially walking up stairs... drink atleast a gallon of water per day...
Avatar m tn Beta blockers usually carry a leaflet stating side effects and it usually says if you have shortness of breath, contact a Doctor immediately.
655242 tn?1229472744 So I tapered off my celexa about 3 days ago and of course I am having all the normal symptoms of withdrawl but one is really bothering me...I am having shortness of breath. I am not sure if it is true shortness of breath since it does not make it any worse to walk across the room but I just feel like I am forcing myself to take deep breaths constantly. Anyone else had this? I keep thinking maybe it is just anxiety but it wont go away.
Avatar m tn I went to CVS and took it today and it was 158 over 98. The shortness of breath comes and goes but is getting more persistent. I also feel very bloated and have been burbing often. They ran full bloodwork panel in January and everything was normal. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn It could be because your body has more blood now, and so your heart has to work harder, which can cause shortness of breath. Kind of like when you are exercising and become short of breath. Just take as many deep breaths as you can and stretch a bit. It probably won't go away and may get worse as your organs get squished together. Just another one of those not so pleasant side effects.
1204528 tn?1588786333 Considering there is not much information on such an interaction, I think you were right in suggesting anxiety to be the most likely cause of the shortness of breath. What made me think otherwise was that on the previous occasion, it was when zopiclone (again metabolized by CYP3A4) was on that the symptoms occurred. So the cause is likely to be one of the meds. Probably diclofenac, but we can’t rule out carbamazepine either.
Avatar f tn Recently I have developed shortness of breath which frankly I am not sure is anxiety or asthma (have had it all my life) or both. The shortness of breath came rather quickly after having a severe sinus infection in December and again in January. When I was sick with the sinus infection I was very, very anxious and worried about myself (hypochondria). I have now seen a pulmonary specialist who did a chest x-ray (normal) and a pulmonary function test (better than normal).
1855970 tn?1325823613 Do you ever have any side effects to the zoloft? How long did it take to start feeling 'normal' again? I'm just so scared to take it...
Avatar f tn I also called the oncologist office today. They said that shortness of breath can be a side affect of femara, but should only last about 2 or 3 more weeks and to let them know if it lasts longer. I just recently had a cat scan and bone scan. Would they have shown something if there were a problem with the heart or lung? Thanks again for your quick answer. I just love this site so much....it really helps to answer so many questions.
Avatar n tn why do i have shortness of breath and tiredness 10 weeks after arthoscopic shoulder surgery
Avatar m tn I recently had a double bypass operation and recovered pretty quickly, about rwo months after my surgery, I developed shortness of breath and get very winded when I walk or do any kind of exercise, it is worse at night when I am laying down, all this happened after my surgery, could the bypass have anything to do with it?

Avatar m tn s possible that my blood pressure meds could be causing my shortness of breath. Supposedly I should not stop taking them, as that is what I would normally do to see if drugs were causing my issues. Does anyone know? My average readings are 134/72/72. on the medications. Irbesartan 300mg. I have been on these drugs for about two or three years now.
Avatar n tn Why have I never recovered from the side effects of these drugs? I still suffer from shortness of breath and find it almost impossible to work. I cannot walk 100 yards without being totally out of breath and now I get a sensation in my chest. I have had stress tests on my heart and all negative. This started while on treatment and was told I was anemic and it would go away.I never cleared the Virius to top it off.
Avatar f tn Lastly, you may wish to discuss switching from Zoloft to another anti-depressant such as Wellbutrin, which has less sexual side effects. Best of luck to you. Dr.
