Chest feels tight when breathing in.trouble breathing.yawning.was on zoloft (sertraline) which didn't help @ all.chest xrays 4 asthma looked fine.what could it be?

Possible side effect: Zoloft (sertraline) can occasionally cause chest muscles to feel tight and feel like shortness of breath. Rarely causes bronchial constriction but anything is possible. Anxiety is, of course, a common cause of feeling short of breath. Would consider another ssri and don't forget psychotherapy/ behavior therapy.

Drug reaction: This is a drug reaction to zoloft (sertraline).
