Took Doxycycline Acne Pill. Started Feeling Pain In Heart And Arm. What's Wrong?
Hi, I took a doxycycline acne pill 5 night ago It dissolved it my throat .my chest feels like it been punched at,I have heart pain And under my left under arm hurts. I ve been told that asodophilis can help regrow the good bacteria that was taken out by the anti biotic. Is that true? Milk and yogurt sooth it,it s just by nighttime my body has had enough.

Hi thanks for your question.
Doxicycline is a antibiotic which is known gastric irritant.Since the tablet got dissolved in your mouth and throat,it has caused sever esophagitis (iiflammation if food pipe) and gastritis (inflammation of stomach) Which is giving you punched sensation and pain in you chest.
Relax there is nothing to worry.
You need to take antacids and proton blocking pump blocking drugs(acid blocking drugs) like pantoprazole for a week.
Yes asodophills,yogurt and milk all help in growing the good bacteria,killed by antibiotics.
Hope this answers your question.
