I was prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate 100m for acne on January 20th 2009. Then, on February 6th, I took the medication at 11:00 only to wake up at 11:40pm with severe chest pains. I have never had anything wrong with me heath wise and the first thing that popped into my mind was the medicine. I went to the doctors the next day because the pain had become so severe and i could not eat or drink anything (even water) without feeling a sudden sharp pain. They did an x-ray and found nothing wrong. I was told it was probably anxiety and this medicine had nothing to do with the chest pains. I went ahead and took it again last night only to still have chest pains so i decided to do research on this medicine and came to this where i found posts in which similar things were experienced upon taking the medication. I have just stopped taking the medication today and am hoping for the pains to go away.

I started taking it today but after reading a lot of posts on this board I have to wonder if your Doctor told you how to take it. First he told me not to take it with milk, to only take it at dinner( i take one a day) to not lay down for at least two to four hours after I take it. Do not eat spicy food, hot drinks of any kind. Not dairy products one hour before or after taking it. To drink at least 4oz of water with it. I hope this helps.
