I took Clindamycin last night and am still having trouble eating or drinking today. I have terrible pain in my chest and back with acid reflux. I did not lay down after taking the pill but didn't drink enough water when I took it. This pain is awful!

I just got a clindaymycin stuck in my throat. I don't know if it's went on down now or not, but this has got me freaking out now!

Same experience with clindamycin, took it with not much water and went to bed right away. I was feeling air pressure in my chest going up. Then the next day it was difficult to swallow feeling like there was something stuck in my throat, and I can really feel the movement as it comes down. However there was no pain with very soft food like pudding, creamy soup, mashed potat etc. I also started to have symptoms of reflux, such as frequent burping esp when lying down..
I WENT TO A DOCTOR, maybe the pill is not stuck anymore, and it just damaged the lining. And I was just prescribed a ppi such as omeprazole to prevent further damage to the esophagus. WILL UPDATE if it will be relieved. and how many days. The other physician, advised me to have endoscopy to see wether the pill is stuck but I dont want to undergo such an invasive procedure

Hello. I am in severe pain right now. My chest hurts right between my breast. Feels like a 100 pounds of blocks is sitting there. I've been on Clindamycin for 6 days now. I started having these symptoms 3 days ago. Everything I eat or drink hurts. I stopped eating and drinking less. I take this pill 4x a day. I found this page and other sites about where ppl were feeling the same way as you and I. This is terrible and someone is going to pay. I already have acid reflux and gastritis. I let all doctors know what medicines I'm on and I read today clindamycin shouldn't be taken if you have existing stomach or bowel problems. This should not have been prescribed to me. Someone is in big trouble. I'm suffering terribly.

The same thing happened to me the first time I took doxycycline hyclate after being prescribed it. I took it right before bed without water or anything and woke up that night with a horrible pain in my chest like it was stuck. I went on for 2 days just miserable and the pain radiated so badly that it felt like I was having awful back pain, even though it was just the pill dissolved in my throat. The way I managed to instantly relieve the symptoms was by literally drinking chloraseptic, not spraying it in my mouth. Actually taking a reasonable gulp, this would immediately relieve the pain enough for me to at least eat. It would last about 6 hours before I needed another drink, but I did this twice a day for about a week while i healed.

Update: I'm better after 3 days of PPI, also avoid food and drinks which aggravate acid reflux ;)

I am experiencing this exact thing. I took a pill at night, woke up feeling like it was stuck going down somewhere in my chest. Days later now and don't notice it until I'm eating. Every bite hurts going down. So frustrating!
