Doxycycline Hyclate and chest pains

Im sorry that i didn't read this valuable information before starting this terrible anti biotics. I was prescribed doxy for mild acne, however after two weeks and a visit to the ER what i ended up with was chest pains and a very painful throat. Oh yes added to my panic. Well after two days the chest pains have subsided, but its still painful to swallow and eat. Does anyone know how long this feeling would last? Or whether I should see another doctor. Im hoping that it will get better since ive been off the meds now for about 2 days. Any advice is welcomed. To all who have suffered in someway over this nasty drug, hope you all feel better, and you're not in this alone, apparently we all have suffered in some way. Hope you all feel better soon

What I am experiencing may or may not be the result of the doxycycline hyclate, but I suspect that it is after reading all of these posts. I took a 100MG doxycycline capsule about a week ago late at night ( to prevent Malaria), laid down, and I woke up to discover a sensation of something being stuck in my throat. That was about a week ago...since then it has progressively become harder to swallow and eat. I have experienced some tingling in my fingers, occasional bouts of nausea and discomfort/pressure in my chest that is very noticeable in my chest when I lie down. Also had severe chronic constipation subsequent to taking the pill, but this may not be related to the doxy, not sure.

I went to the doctor today-the PA ran all kind of tests-EKG, throat x-rays, blood, and urine and didn't see anything abnormal. I hope to find out what the problem is soon.

My son took this medication for a month, about a month later he started with the headaches. He can not concentrate, he feels like he is in a fog and wore out all the time. It messes with his vision. He has been having these symptoms for about a month and a half with trips to the emergency room and numerous Drs. He never had any problems till this medication. He is missing work. What we need to know from anyone - how long do the symptoms last.
Please respond if you have had the same --headaches and vision problems.

I started taking the pill 2 weeks ago for ance problems. I have experienced severe nausea, and an extreme burning sensation in the sun! I also have chest pains. my acne doesnt seem to be getting too much better.The nausea is sometimes unbearable! We'll see what happens when i keep taking it.

I was recently put on doxycycline for a possible bacteria infection. What a mistake! Isn't there enough antibiotics out there so this one is never used? Between fatigue, nausea, chest pains and trouble breathing.... I thought I was going to die. I have been off of it for two days, and I am still sick with the side effects. The worst part, is this crazy itching in my vagina and rectum. I can't even sleep! Patients everywhere beware...The doctors do not relay any of this info. This is a horrible medication.

I started taking this medicine for treatment of acne. I sometimes took it with food, and apparantly i didnt take it with enough water because I have been having serious chest pains and extreme esophagal burning and pain. Make sure when taking this to drink lots and lots of water. The pain in almost unbearable and I haven't been able to eat solid food for 2 or 3 days.

I have experienced negative side effects from doxycycline. I have had chest pains, headaches, and nausea. It is perscribed for a sinus infection but I think I would rather deal with the pain of sinus pressure than the side effects.

I was taking doxycyline after an operation to prevent infection. I have experienced severe chest pains which stopped me from eating or drinking. I have been in terrible terrible pain and would not reccomend anyone to take this. It has taken 2 weeks for me to be able to eat or drink without pain. It felt like there was a blockage in my chest and the food and drink was not going down. A terrible indigestion feeling

Anyone have chest pains (not heart burn) while on this medication?

am taking 100 dox 2x daily for 2 weeks after being bitten by a tick. wasn't concerned when they told me to start this medicine, didn't expect much in the way of side effects. i will also add that take thyroid meds and they were adjusted downward 3 weeks ago.

i am also being menopause. The first things i noticed were the hot and cold sweats. bone chilling deep inside you cold. menpause? Then the ringing in the ears. Waking up hungry in the middle of the night after the anorexic effect of the medicine wore off. blurred vision ans swollen face. not enough to tell the doctor, but around my eyes especially.

A couple of nights panic attacks and sleeping but not really knowing it. Next came the waking up dizzy with the bad headaches and or having neausa and stomache aches after taking it.

irritability on occasions as well as chest pains. was surprised at my low level of tolerance to noise. i'm stopping this today even though have just one day left.

this is my 2nd time taking doxy. everyone seems to be experiencing the same things : Nausea,Lost appetite,chest pains and cottonmouth. i have learned from taking this before you MUST eat a meal before taking this pill and the only thing you will have would be cotton mouth, you have to drink a lot of fluids with the pill. i hope this helps someone!!!

I took this medicine for about 1 week before I started getting these horrible chest pains. They would sweep around my chest from my back and then stop under my sternum and kind of pinch. They would happen in intervals of 1 min to 15 seconds. They reminded me of very initial labor pains but definitely in the wrong location. Nausea, also a problem. Who knows what else is attributed to this medicine since I came down with a horrible cold as soon as I started it. I am glad to know that there seems to be common problems with the medication and not as horrible as it seems.

I am taking Doxy for mild acne. I have been taking it for TWO DAYS. I was taking it before bed, now i am experiencing chest pains the spread up to my esophagus and mouth. No nausea, but loss of apetite. The chest pains are frequent bursts of pain varying in severity. Has anyone else experienced such?

My sister and I are both on doxycycline for our acne. My sister is not taking it anymore because she is having chest pains although she's been off the medicine for three days now. This is my second time taking this medicine. The first time I took it I had to stop because my hands got severly burned by the sun. My hands still feel weird, but it's winter and I've been very careful with sunscreen and wearing stuff to cover my skin if I'm in the sun. This medicine works wonders on acne. Out of everything I've tried my acne improved amazingly. I guess living with irritation in my hands is worth it for me, but hopefully my sister's chest pains will go away.

I have been taking doxycycline for 4 days, i have been experiencing side affects that are causing concern, i have been having suffering from chest pains, highly irritated and feeling quite nausea with a hot then cold sensation, just wondered if anyone had the same ??? Take care when taking this medication.

After taking 100mg per day for about 6 weeks (travelling in malaria-endemic parts of Sth America) I developed severe chest pains overnight one night and have had pain on swallowing since (like an ulcer). Have stopped the medication and symptoms are improving gradually after 4 days.

I'm diabetic, using doxycycline for dental infection.

After 4 days I got savir chest pains, can't swollow foods without pains. A doctor I saw in a walk in clinic sugested that the symptoms I have are from the med, she heard about that before! She also mentioned it could couse yeast infection. Now I'm 4 days without the pill, I have improvmet but looks like long way to go . Be carefull with this med!

Upper GI distress-bloating-loss of appetite-chest pains, very likely stomach related, not heart. Esophageal burning, never any heartburn before. Mood swings, definitely not positive mood! Taking for MRSA sinuses, contracted at workplace after having extensive sinus surgery two years ago. Have taken several rounds doxyclycline, infection always comes back after finishing med two weeks prior. Thank you for your interest.

I took this for severe acne at about age 15...I took it before I went to bed and I severely burned my esophogaus - do not ever take right before bed! I couldnt swllow ANYTHING for days I had severe chest pains I literally told my mom at the time I thought I was having a heart attack and years later I still recall it as some of the most intense pain of my life - my only cure was a prescrip for heart burn med - at the time it was like $50 bucks a pill...never again!

severe chest pains and nausea...now after 5 days on the drug im having vision changes and general confusion. also sunburn easier

Dreadful stomach pains, chest pains, rib soreness and feeling that, after one piece of toast I have eaten a six course meal.

Prescribed to me for acne... used it for about a month with no problems. Now on my first refill, took on an empty stomach before bed and now have had horrible chest pains since. Intense throbbing after swallowing food or drink.

I was precribed doxycycline for 10 days after a tick bite (prophylaxis for Lyme disease). Developed serious nausea on day two, followed by continuous low grade nausea. Complete loss of appetite, and terrible fatigue. Developed low level chest pains and tightening of chest on day 6. Chest pain increased through day 7 and is now approaching acute level. I'm not taking any more of this stuff - calling doctor in the morning.

Caused thrush in my throat. Felt like really severe chest pains/blockage, couldn't swallow.
Got a liquid medicine for the thrush, and it went away in 3 days.
Also, sick feeling if not taken directly after meals.

really bad chest pains, hurts to swallow anything.

Got very bad chest pains. Cant eat any food even hurts to swallow water. Doctor said this is a common side affect and to stop taking pill and it can take up to 3 weeks for the pain to go away
