Sertraline issue

@LAA It definitely could be the Sertraline but I’ve never had this reaction before. I’ve had it bother my stomach but not to the point where it burns in my esophagus too. It’s like my throat, chest and stomach are all on fire at the same time. I tried eating bread and drinking water and it didn’t work. I just took Pepto Bismol and chewing gum but it hasn’t gotten better at all

@Mikeneko 🧡 Oh man, I'm sorry! Maybe super bad acid reflux? Good call on the pepto bismol - I hope it helps!!

@LAA I think it could be. I really hope it does too because it is very painful. Never again will I take my medication without taking necessary precautions first because this is terrible. I’ve been taking it for about a year now I don’t understand why it’s never done this before. Anyways thank you for your help and support!

@Bronsautracks So it’s heartburn?

@Bronsautracks What if I don’t have apples?

@Mikeneko 🧡 Sadly I can’t say for sure it’s heartburn, but heartburn is a commonly reported side effect. If you don’t have apples, maybe just eat something bland or have a tums?

@Bronsautracks I tried tums it didn’t help. The burning just keeps getting worse and it’s not going away at all. I’m terrified because I’ve never experienced this kind of pain in my chest before

@Mikeneko 🧡 Well, chest pain is one of those things that you really shouldn’t ignore. Personally, I’d go get checked out if typical heartburn fixes weren’t doing it for me and I was in a kind of pain I’d never felt before.

@Bronsautracks My mom keeps telling me it’s an anxiety attack and I keep telling her about the pain in my chest she doesn’t understand. Should I go to the hospital myself? It’s not going away at all

@Mikeneko 🧡 I’ve gone to the hospital for panic attacks that I thought were heart attacks in the past. It’s a distressing state to be in. It’s chest pain. Any doctor is going to say to err on the side of caution, so you should make your decision based on what you feel. Trust yourself to know your body and what you need.

@Bronsautracks Very true and I really can’t go through all that. I’m trying to eat bread and drink water to get it to go down. I saw on Reddit that if you don’t drink water before you take it or if you don’t eat before it can but your esophagus and I think maybe that’s what it could be

@Bronsautracks The bread and water did absolutely nothing. It’s burning so badly
