I've been taking Doxy for a week now (100mg 2x daily) for epididomytis. The second day of taking the med I woke up with terrible heartburn. I thought that the med burned a hole in my lower esophagus from from taking the med late the night before. I have had nausia once for a few hours, though the worst side-effect is the terrible chest pain as I swallow or take deep breaths. It feels like I am swallowing a golf ball and it is stuck about 3/4 of the way down. Occasionally it feels like it is trying to come back up. I too have had some excess gas. I hope this stuff really works without causing long term side effects.

Have you contacted your doctor about your side effects? Does he/she say to stop taking it or continue? I am just wondering if i should contact my doctor. I am supposed to go see him next week and it will be 4 weeks that i have been on doxy. I have the same problem when swallowing food, it burns all the way down to my stomach.

I have the same thing happening to me, after a dose before bed. It feels like I have a golf ball stuck halfway down my throat, exactly. The swelling seems to come in waves. I'm on my 4th day of a 3-week regimen for Lyme disease, so I'm hoping it goes away soon....
