Hi,
I suggest you stop Doxycycline right away and tell your Doctor to change the antibiotic and start some PPI like Pantoprazole twice a day before meals.
This antibiotic has a high frequency of such problems and it is better to stop if you are experiencing as you mention.
Take care and do let me know if we can help you further.
Take care,
