How Can Shortness Of Breath After Taking Minocycline Be Treated?
51 year old male, active life style, crossfitter. Annual physical - good, labs all good, colonoscopy clear. Experiencing slight shortness of breathe. No tightness. No asthmatic symptoms. Comes on when relaxing. Able to workout at high intensity without experiencing any shortness or cardio difficulty. Started taking one medication two weeks ago: minocycline 100 mg ,or an acne breakout. I take no other medications. I do take multi vitamin and omega3 capsule, called dermatologist and he said it s not side effect of meds. Any suggestions?

Hi,
* If the shortness of breath is definitely following the Minocycline, it can be considered as its side effect though it is not widely documented, individual body response can be unpredictable.
* If the short breath was even before the Minocycline, then other issues have to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
