Sertraline isn’t working anymore

I’ve been taking 100mg of sertraline for almost a year, I requested that my dosage should be higher as in the past few months my palpitations and anxiety have returned. They refused.
Im now at a point where I have intense health anxiety thinking my family will die, every day im nervous I won’t see my children again. I have a cold at the moment and coughed up some blood this morning so cue the Google searches assuming I will die of TB.
I know I have to send my children to school and I can’t control what my family does but I would prefer everyone was home so I can keep them safe.
It’s like a constant feeling of dread and doom that something bad will happen. I’ve already cried about my parents death despite them being alive and in their 50s.
I know this isn’t normal which is why I’ve asked for an increase. Can anyone suggest what to do please if my gp won’t help?

See another Doc for a 2nd opinion. Keep asking or try self referring for taking therapy. I’m on 200mg of Sertraline and have been for years. Good luck, you’ll be ok xx
