Dizziness and sweating. Suffer from panic attacks. On sertraline. Advice?
human
Today I was sitting crossed legged in the floor with a child on my lap when I suddenly felt like I was going to faint,  my head swam but as soon as I moved I felt ok and not dizzy. I felt very hot and sweaty after.  I do suffer from panic attacks. which I felt I had after the episode.  I am also on 100mg of sertraline.  Thank you

Hi there, thanks for asking. Mild episodes of anxiety may be experienced by people who have panic disorder. It is commonly seen and there is no place to worry. You can manage it with relaxation technics or stress reduction. However, you should ask the doctor to send you to a therapist who hold some talk sessions for the roots of the anxiety. Then you can even decrease the dose of sertraline. I wish you a good health.
