i took doxycycline for the first time last friday night for my "single" acne. i took it without drinking water then i went to bed. saturday morning, i felt something was stucked on my throat but i could still swallow. sunday morning, i had chest pains but it comes and goes. i was worried but i didn't do anything about it. monday morning was the worst day of my life, i was feverish and i couldn't swallow and the chest pains were far more painful. i had an endoscopy that day and it was normal. i just took an antiulcer medication thinking it was gastroesophageal reflux. tuesday am (this morning), i woke up still with severe chest pain and i couldn't swallow solid foods. i searched the internet and found doxycycline-induced esophagitis. i'm a dermatology resident and i have not heard about that. luckily for my patients, no one had esophagitis due to doxycycline. now, i'm still in pain and have learned my lesson well.
