Hello, for starters, do go to the nearest hospital or clinic equipped with ecg services and get an ecg done. As protocol, the doctor will also check your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It is evident that your body is under stress (physical and mental, both). This is your body asking for help. Do not ignore.

Dear ma'm you seem to be a little depressed. Do not worry. I request you to get some time outdoors when the temperature is pleasant. Spend some time in the greenery, it will elevate you mood. Talk to friends, force yourself if you have to. You will see that many of your symptoms will reduce for some time, though they may come back when you are indoors. A little exercise will also help. Any physicla activity will do. At the same time, just to be sure, get a checkup with a physician to rule out any hypertension/heart disease.

1.Use Deep Breathing Deep breathing is another effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It helps you with physical symptoms such as shallow breathing and rapid heart rate, and it also helps with controlling your thoughts. When you practice deep breathing, you're forced to take your thoughts off of whatever is causing you anxiety and to focus on the breathing technique that you are using. 2.Keep A Journal Journaling can be an effective way to deal with your anxiety and to find relief. It helps you to take all of the things that are rolling around in your head and get them out of your head and down on paper. Sometimes seeing the things that we're worried about on paper can help us to see that they're not as big of a deal as we thought they were. It can also help us to find solutions that we have been overlooking. 3.Hang Out With Friends If you're struggling with anxiety, sometimes the last thing that you want to do is go hang out with your friends. Even if it's an activity that you enjoy with people that you like, the thought of it can be stressful. Your brain already feels overwhelmed with things that you feel you need to figure out, and it can seem like a bad use of time to do something fun. 4. Exercise, Find What Works For You : You might be tired of hearing about how great exercise is for your health. But, the reason you hear about it so much is that there's no way around it. Exercise it's good for both your physical body and for your mind.Getting regular exercise has been proven to help you sleep better at night, clear your head, and boost your mood. It's a great way to use up all that pent-up energy that you have in a way that's going to benefit you in multiple areas of your life.

Sir, please get yourself evaluated by an allergy specialist thoroughly and only after clearance from them consult a psychiatrist. Subsequently as you said that most of symptoms came under control by taking sertralin earlier, it may well be psychological. Only difference now is that even sertralin is not working and you may be well with change of medications.
