Gas, bloating, acidity, and heartburn lasting over a year point to a chronic digestive issue such as acid reflux or a sensitive gut. Antidepressants can sometimes slow digestion or add to bloating as a side effect, so the two are worth looking at together.
Next Steps
See a general physician or gastroenterologist to check for reflux or H. pylori, and mention the antidepressant you're taking so they can judge if it's contributing. Smaller meals, less caffeine and carbonated drinks, and staying upright after eating often help meanwhile.
Health Tips
Get checked sooner if you notice unintended weight loss, vomiting, or blood in your stool or vomit.
