chest pain from doxycycline

chest pain from doxycycline

I was given doxycycline to treat a head cold after 4 days of treatment i was starting to have some side effects eg. acid reflux,loss of appetite, nausea, and a few more. Stopped taken the doxycycline and started to have chest pain went to a+e ecg performed, results normal i was sent home saying it was muscular pain. The pain has'nt fully subsided and currently being treated for acid reflux
Have any body else had this problem with this drug?
im 28yrs female diabetic type 2

Im worried that this could be a heart problem or is it connected to the drug (doxycycline)

Hi,
      I think you have mistaken the symptom of heart burn or acidity for chest pain or heart problem. Doxycycline does not cause any heart problems. But it is better to get evaluated for heart problems with a lipid profile, holter monitoring, tread mill test etc as you are suffering from type 2 diabetes, which is one of the risk factors for developing ischemic heart disease. Also, try taking antacids and bland diet to cope with the discomfort.
Consult a cardiologist for further assistance on this. Best.
