I'm having trouble with shortness of breath that's been around for about three years, and sometimes I also feel a bit of chest pain on the right side. I went to see a chest physician who did an X-ray and said everything looked normal. He suggested I should see a psychiatrist because it could be tension-related. I'm feeling a bit lost here. Is there really a connection between tension and these physical symptoms? Should I still consider pursuing more tests for my breathing issues?

I've been having some anxiety and OCD issues, so I went to a psychiatrist and got prescribed Depran H. After taking the first tablet, a few hours later, my vision got kind of blurry, like when you're a bit drunk, and I noticed some mild shivering too. Is this something normal with this medication?
