Bizarre Symptoms - Liver And Doxycycline??? Posted: 11-01-05 14:12pm
Hey all. Im a 16 year old male and i've
been having some weird stuff going on. I
was on doxycycline (an antibiotic) for
acne treatment for about a month and a
half (during which I got esophagitis and
stopped for 2 weeks, that was my fault
though, took the pill wrong). Well about
two weeks ago I started getting this odd
ache (not painful at all) under my right
rib which was just annoying. This slowly
got more achy and tight and I decided to
go to the doc as I know doxy can give you
liver issues. He took me off the doxy and
I have been off for a week now but what I
find odd is that the symptoms have changed
drastically to the following:
- burning sensation in right chest and
along sternum. From my collarbone down to
a little above my navel (this is pretty
close to my sternum) this seems to set on
about an hour after eating but i'm not
sure if it is related or not, for instance
a large meal last night did not cause any
burning.
- very short sharp pain in my lower right
abdominal quadrant and also in the same
area as where the burning is.
- after waking up in the morning the
symptoms are little to none, but then once
I get up the symptoms tend to slowly get
worse through the day.
- I also have the most bizarre headache,
not painful but just a disorienting
feeling. It's hard to focus on my
homework and tests and stuff. This
started two days ago at night then went
through to the morning and through that
next day yet let off during the night and
through this morning but just recently
started up again. (this is really scary
for me, I dont like to be disconnected
from what's going on)
well I hope that someone can give me some
help here i'm the type of person who gets
worried really easily about health stuff.
Im seeing my doc next tuesday he told me
to come back after two weeks from stopping
the doxy. Thanks all!
