I've been feeling really anxious lately and I've started experiencing chest pains. Is this normal? What kind of pain should I be looking out for, and where exactly might I feel it if it's anxiety-related? Also, are there any medicines or treatments that can help alleviate these chest pains?

View allI just started taking Venlafaxine the other day and I'm noticing that my chest is getting more numb and tight every day. It's even giving me a bit of pain and makes it hard to breathe sometimes. I've heard I shouldn't just stop taking it because of withdrawal issues. Are these symptoms something that usually happens, or is something wrong? And if I decide to stop it soon since I just started, would I still go through withdrawals?
