Anyone know what this is? Scared:(?

I'm 15, I suffer from depression, anxiety and panic attacks and mild case of hypochondria because I'm always asuming there's something wrong with me and will think the worse in every situation, I started a anti depressant called Sertraline about 2 weeks ago and Yesterday I upped my dose to 50mg from 25mg. The day before yesterday when I was in bed I had this like sicky fullness feeling in my stomach & throat and it kept feeling like something wanted to come up but it didn't, Today I feel the same. Could this be just my anxiety and panic causing this? Or a side effect from my medication? I also don't get much exercise and I only eat junk food, I don't eat any meats apart from chicken and mostly in one day only eat chocolate and maybe some other garbage. I don't eat any fruits or veg ect, Please don't go scaring me, I'm at my doctors Monday for a talk about my medication I think then they are booking me in for a EKG and a blood test. I look everything up online too which I shouldn't because I scare my self :( Thank you

    You really are an Hypochondriac but at 15 you've probably gone through a lot of stress other people's baggage and it's affected you?? I think it's side effects because you took extra dosage so why do that erm and that particular anti depressant is unpleasant and a few people using it have committed suicide so please don't up the dosage go and talk to your Dr, you can find this out on the web if you look it up. In the UK it's rarely used and the new name Zoloft does'nt fool people. Now you see you're causing yourself more harm than good and at 15 you have one life it's not a rehearsal so live your life, go and see Cancer children as they want to live and keep positive.

    I'm not going to tell you what to eat as you know you're ruining your health already and I think you are a silly girl, why worry about any illness until it happens and then you fight it.

    Please don't take any more of the tablets until you see your Dr, there's nothing wrong with you so work hard at school eat properly and 'get a life'.
