What Causes Chest Tightness While On Doxycycline?

I was just given a rx for doxycycline monohydrate 100 mg oral capsule for 7 days. Got deep cut on back of foot above heel and went to hospital. Gave mea technis shot and said they could not stich it since it happened early yesterday. I am allergic to penicillins and lots of different molds. They give me a 100 mg doxycycline before I left hospital and I am already feeling some tightness in chest. But afraid not to keep taking it because worked about infection. The cut was made from an old piece of 4-4 dirty wood so worried about infection ??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Chest tightness is likely because of gastritis and reflux induced by Doxycycline. Are you taking antacids, if not you should have Tab Pan DSR or Rabeprazole Domperidone combination along with antibiotics. If already taking antacids or heaviness also occurring on exertion and relieves with rest or severe, then better to have one ECG.



Hope I have answered your query.
