Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Weight gain in depression patients is mostly due to anti depressants side effect or uncontrolled depression itself.
You are also having tachycardia. This favours uncontrolled depression more.
So in my opinion, you should consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
Counselling plays very important role along with drugs in control of depression.
Newer anti depressants are more beneficial in prevention of side effects like weight gain.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
