> Um lets see. My chest hurts, its super tight there, I get a feeling of "pressure" everywhere, in my chest, on the back of my head, etc. Cant relax, feel irritable and pissed off sometimes but thats mild. Just feel like I want to sit down and relax when I get like that. Feel like I cant breathe good or get a breath of air. Feet swell up a little bit. Cant exercise good like I normally can. Get shooting pains down my left arm.

> Old SchoolI get those kinds of feelings from SSRIs. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I don't get blood pressure spikes from SSRIs. I've never heard of that though. I get these periods where I feel terrible physically, and have to just sit down and relax, until it goes away. Like you said, I can't exercise or be active when I feel like that.
