This might be due to ulceration in esophagus which is very common after using doxycycline especially in empty stomach and if you lie down immediately after taking doxycycline.
Advice
1. Omeprazole 20 mg per oral empty stomach in the morning for 10 days
2. Avoid smoking and alcohol
3. Do not eat heavily at a time. Divide your meals into smaller portions and eat them frequently during the day
4. Raise the head of your bed
5. Avoid spicy foods, fatty foods, mint, chocolate, tomato-based foods, coffee, and citrus fruits
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
