What Could Be Intermittent Lower Rib Cage Tightening,breathe Shortness,excessive Salivation And Throat Constriction While On Minocycline First Dosage?
hi there, I am experiencing intermittent tightening of my lower ribcage area, shortness of breath , excessive salivation and a moderate constriction in my throat . I took minocycline 13 hours ago for the first time in a long my dermatologist prescribed for a peri oral breakout- I am wondering if I am having an allergic reaction or if maybe this is some kind of GERD.

Hi,
To my opinion, your symptoms go for an allergic reaction to minocycline.
Please stop taking this drug and consult with dermatologist again to change therapy.
All the best!
