What Could Cause Severe Headache In A Person With Severe Cough Triggered My Asthma?
I recently went to the ER for severe coughing due to mountain cedar which triggered my asthma. needless to say that I was given a breathing treatment and antibiotic called Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg cap. This the first time that I was not given an x ray knowing that I am prone to getting pneumonia every year. Nevertheless, every since I started taking the antibiotic I have had severe headaches with a lot of pressure. As a result I have had only about 5 hrs of sleep in 4 days due to the pressure and headache seems to get stronger when I lay down. Any suggestions why I'm getting like this?

hi, headache is a known side effect of doxycyclene. It resolves once you stop the drug. cut your salt intake during the period you take it. hope this helps.
