666921 tn?1254990618 Years ago I had an endoscopy that showed I have a stricture, or narrowing of the esophagus caused from repeated injury from reflux. It can become a dangerous problem, not just an annoyance! I am able to reasonably control my reflux with over the counters, like prilosec. I also take tums for immediate relief. Talk to your doctor about this. Serious damage and susceptibility to cancer can result if it goes unchecked!
Avatar m tn My question is, would the increase in acid reflux and stomach pain be a likely side effect of the doxycycline. I know doxycycline can cause acid reflux or stomach pain right after you take it, but could it cause it many hours later? What about the itchy bumps on my arm? I know doxycycline can make your skin sensitive to light, so might that be a skin reaction caused by it?
984138 tn?1359813073 doxycycline is what they treat you with for lyme right? Odd thing but my gyno called me in that medicine for a common thing probaly yeast infection... i just talked to the recpetionist not the actual doctor because it was very minor she said. But anywho should i take it? Obviously i should but should i take it when im a positive for lyme but have no LLMD yet and my ID just got back to work today so shes catching up with everyhting and havent looked at my results yet.
1138687 tn?1548643978 Thanks guys! That makes sense, as I have learned in my search that Mono was produced to cause less GI/Stomach issues. I also read that Mono makes it to the small colon before breaking down, which would explain the double coating and decreased stomach issues. If all of this is true then it would harmonize with my experience, as Mono was MUCH more tolerable.
Avatar n tn but I presume you mean lower ribs above your stomach. If your pain is close to your stomach, I would look at your medicines the hospital gave you, and if there is an anti-gas in the bunch, be SURE to take that. Gas can cause a whole lot of pain when it builds up in the tummy. If you have no anti-gas stuff, you can try the over-the-counter Alka Seltzer that does NOT have aspirin in it, just regular bubble stuff (not cold medicine or anything else). It will release the gas in your tummy.
Avatar m tn the urethral opening feels like a cut pain being exposed to air and scrotum feels pinched. My guess is from being in a lot of pain cause some nerve sensitivity. Luckily, I don't have that sharp pain where I can't sit or feel a burning sensation. I also have not been feeling well (could have a stomach virus bug in the process and that might be the reason why I am feeling discomfort again). My question is Do I need to go back to the ER and get on another antibiotic?
Avatar m tn Dr Handsfield is no longer here at medhelp. That being said. I agree with your Dr's comment.. to answer your question directly. No this is not hsv. Not even close. Hsv doesn't cause any of the symptoms you had. Sure you will read it does but in fact the symptoms list is misunderstood and taken out of context. Burning sure but not in the absence of lesions or a future outbreaks past the primary outbreak. Which is prodrome symptoms. Even then burning isn't really common.
Avatar m tn Hello, I read your story and I am in the exact same situation! How are you doing now? I had an endoscopy also and the gastroenterologist said everything looked completely normal. One thing that was done for me which I do not believe you had was that my gastro doctor did two biopsies while he was checking my stomach. The biopsy result from the antrum came back with "reactive gastropathy". So, that is a result from the doxycycline.
Avatar f tn Doxycycline nearly always causes nausea in dogs, and often vomiting. However, it is a very effective antibiotic. Has he finished the antibiotic course already? If so, then it would be a good idea if you can feed him some natural "Live" yogurt (unflavoured) daily for a few days until you see any improvement, as this will act as a pro-biotic, replacing natural gut bacteria which will have been wiped out by the long antibiotic course. This will help his digestive balance.
Avatar f tn Giner Ale, ginger has something in it that takes away the upset stomach / pain while taking doxycycline, I'm not a Doctor but this is from my own experience with antibiotics.
Avatar f tn at that time it was only the cyst that hurt, the doctor gave the antibiotic augmentin for 7 days until 29 June 2022. after a week from the end of taking the medicine, the pain returned but the pain was no longer in the cyst, the pain changed to the lower part of the testicle and possible tail epididymitis because I found it swollen only in the left testicle. but the doctor ignored my problem and gave me Augmentin again for another 7 days, starting , 7 July until 13 July 2022.
Avatar f tn I had a nuru massage from a erotic massage provider. She sat on my back while I lay face down on massage table and grinder her vaginal area across my back and rear end. She then straddled me and grinded her same area on my stomach while I lay on my back. Never got near my penis with her vaginal area. She then gave me a handjob. Is there any risk for std or a need to be tested. I'm taking some doxycycline I have. 100mg twice a day for two weeks.
Avatar f tn She prescribed him doxycycline for epididmytisis(hope i spelled that right). The pain in his testicles and the tingling went away. The stomach pain continued. After completing the medication he noticed spots(not really bumps) on his penis. He went to see a different doctor. That morning his lips were dry and cracked. This one said that the stomach pain was acid reflux. And ordered a blood test for herpes. It came back positive for hsv2.
Avatar f tn I have taken it before but the next day after I took it this time.. I started to get joint pain in knee and elbows real bad with some hand pain..
Avatar m tn Without testing he put me on Cipro and Doxycycline. Finished both but still have the same feeling. No discharge and slight burning every once in a while when I pee. Any chance I contracted anything that I didn't kill with the antibiotics?
Avatar f tn About two weeks ago I came down with a nasty stomach bug (possibly the flu) that I got passed down from my two kids. (Thanks daycare!) About a week after it hit I started getting weird urinary symptoms--constant leakage, trouble emptying bladder, fatigue, and pain at end of my penis. Saw urologist this past Friday and he said my prostate was swollen. All other urine tests, cat scan came up normal. Prescribed me cipro and flomax.
Avatar n tn Since a month i have this 'yellow' liquid getting discharged in my left year. there is absolutely no pain at all. i googled for it and found that it could possibly be a 'swimming ear' but i dont swim..! i consulted a doc last week and he has prescribed me a H drug. still no improvement.. any help?
Avatar f tn After 2 days my penis and scortum started tingling and itching and started a burning sensation in my penis with no discharge. Also i noticed some pain in my lower back and abdomen. I got worried and went to a local std clinic to test for hiv and std. i told them my symptoms and they examined and tested me and gave me a 7 days dose of doxycycline for having a NGU. (Non gonococcal urithiritis) After seven days of dose with doxycycline, i was feeling better with no symptoms.
Avatar m tn And if there are any other tricks I can get it so that I can take the doxycycline without any stomach or heartburn related issue. Ty!
Avatar m tn Later I was given single dose of 1 gm ceftriaxone and 100 mg doxycycline. Although it gave me massive stomach upset and and caused me to have hemorroids and fissures, I completed the course. which did not give me 100% relief. I went to see the doctor again and I was on 2 gm ceftriaxone IV for three days. which certainly did not work. i still had all the symptoms. finally Chlamydia was found out in culture test. Dr gave me 500 mg Azythromycin and 100 mg Doxycycline for 7 days.
Avatar m tn However, towards the end of the week I started having some urethral irritation again and fairly bad joint pain. I was having some stomach irritation and loose stool, and after consuming some lactose and fructose heavy food at a conference, my bloating returned and my IBS was worse than it was prior to the antibiotics. I then took a course of Cipro, 100 mg twice daily for a week. I also took Xifaxan simultaneously for the IBS 500 mg 3 times daily for 10 days.
Avatar m tn Symptons: pain to the right testicle and swelling at the top of the right testicle plus some redness on the urethra especially after ejaculation, I have at the moment. Background: I had Chlamydia about 18 months ago, was tested positive and treated with the two antibiotic pills taken once which seemed to cure it. 6 months on something still didn't seem right so I was tested again but it came back all clear, they also tested for syphilis, gonorrhoea and HIV. All came back clear.
Avatar f tn I also got joint pain in my hips . The first month I was on doxycycline it became worse and I was struggling to walk up and down stairs. It eventually got better and has never been that bad again, although I still have pain/stiffness occasionally.
Avatar f tn He had a couple of times of temporary stomach upset from fatty foods like ice cream. He now wakes up every morning feeling like he needs to vomit running to the toilet. He never vomits but coughs and welches like he is about to. All tests come back negative. We have done scope, ultrasound, MRCP, stomach emptying test, rounds of blood work. We saw a different pediatric GI to see if he needs ERCP and he did not think he needs it. His liver enzymes are normal and so are all the X-rays.
