Hi,

My doctor suggested that I begin taking 4 Wobenzyme tablets with each meal. I explained that the last time I took these enzymes that I had a feeling of tightness in my chest and a cough. Sure enough, after only 3 days on the Wobenzyme my chest symptoms are returning. Has anyone else experienced this before? Thanks!

I'm so sorry for not remembering your details, Missteak, but are you in treatment? If so that would explain it. Wobenzyme thins the blood so that it can carry the abx into the smallest of veins that we have, as often we have hyper coagulation issues with Lyme. So the Wobenzyme helps the abx get into more areas of the body - which can often bring on a herx.

Is there any possibility that this is what's happening with you?

Hi Traveler,

Yes, I am in treatment. I am on Argentyn 23 IV on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and IV hydrogen peroxide along with a chelation IV (to remove mercury) on Tuesdays and Thursday. I am going the holistic route because I do not tolerate antibiotics well. As a teenager I was prescribed continuous antibiotics by the dermatologist for 6 straight years.

I asked my doc about an enzyme to help break up the biofilm. He suggested Wobenzyme, 12 pills a day, 4 with each meal. Every time I try to take the Wobenzymes I end up with tightness in my chest and eventually a cough. The only thing that helps it is to breath in the steam from a cup of hot water with oil of oregano in it.

Anyway, I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this while taking Wobenzyme.

Thank you!

Missteak3, I haven't had chest pressure/tightness from wobenzyme, but that is a symptom I get from so many supplements......moducare, folinic acid, xylitol, herbals, etc. The osteopath I see said that all of the muscles in my chest tighten up. It's one of my worst symptoms and nothing seems to help to relieve it. I feel every heart beat! I've read that some people use Alka seltzer gold to relieve herx symptoms. I live in Canada and haven't been able to access this. If you find anything that helps with this, please let me know. I hate to try anything new for this reason.

dmw52,

If I find anything to help with the chest tightening I will definitely let you know. My symptoms resolved once I stopped taking the Wobenzyme. I've switched over to Nattokinase and so far, so good.
