Acide symptoms and conditions

I started on Prilosec OTC 20MG 12/12/07 first thing in the morning (1 hour before eating) for ulcers and suspected Hiatal Hernia. At first it was great - took my acid reflux away - starting yesterday I developed a tickling feeling in my throat an hour or two after taking and a cough that accompanies the tickle - also after eating within an hour my nose gets stuffed up and I feel like mucous is running down the back of my throat. Also I have had a feeling of upper chest tightness off and on (especially within an hour of eating) almost like a cramping feeling in my chest.

I was put on Prilosec because the Dr. suspected that acid reflux was making my asthma much worse. Asthma has been better on the Prilosec but with the past two days of the dry tickling cough and chest tightness it is scaring me.

Anyone else have this??? Please help!!!!
