Headaches, dizziness, nausea and occasional nosebleeds?

[Daidouji]

I am a 17 year old female and was diagnosed with depression eariler this year when I looked for help after showing symptoms for 3-4 years. I'm taking antidepressants (sertraline, 100mgs a day) and see a psychologist weekly.

I often get bad headaches behind my left eye and feel dizzy along with constant fatigue. I ignored it because I thought it was due to depression until recently I've been getting nosebleeds more frequently after only having one once. I also feel nauseous a lot of the time but have only vomited once or twice.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could possibly be wrong?

Thanks for your time.

See a physician.  This symptoms could indicate something serious.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
What is important is to find the cause of nose bleed—infection, trauma, rhinitis, using blood thinning medications, high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, polyps and growths in nasal cavity. Yes, bleeding from the posterior nares into the mouth cavity can cause a gag reflex and nausea. Also the nausea could be due to gastric reflux and severe reflux can also damage nasal mucosa and cause bleeding. You probably need an antacid or acid reducing medication. Please consult an ENT and talk to your doctor about a change in prescription as Sertaline causes dizziness and nausea. Take care!
