I 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?

I'm sweating a lot and I'm not sure if it's just because of gas or if something else is going on. I'm dealing with panic disorder and often have issues with acidity. Could the acidity be triggering my panic attacks? I really need help with this panic disorder and would love to know if there's a permanent cure. I had a TMT done last August, and it came out normal. Does that mean I could still have a heart issue?
