http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418 I have been taking Omeprazole since December 2007 now so 2 and a half months. I had the dose increased to 40mg 3 weeks ago as 20mg wasn't curing the burning in my throat. For a few weeks now i have had increasing vertigo/dizziness and palpitations.

I had a ct scan because I thought I had a brain tumor. Luckily, everything including blood work has come back normal.

No doubt it is a sub, they usually are! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=7102 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:30:31 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=10393 GET A BLOOD TEST DONE FOR H PYLORI.

I think alot of my problems are possibly stress related as I have had every test done and they can't find anything so I am thinking I am intolerant to certain foods. I am now on Lansaprazole twice http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=10606 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 04:25:10 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=12425 My father has been on prilosec for several years because of regurgitaiton due to a ventral hernia. He recently went to the hospitlal for an unrelated issue and stopped his medication for several days. What a nightmare, the only good thing was that we found http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=12425 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:46:07 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=12430 I was on Nexium for several years with no problems but worried in that stomach acid is necessary for a healthy system. I foolishly switched to Omeprazole because it would save me $80 a year!

I STOPPED taking it and I got BETTER with the heart problem. TRY the Atkins diet adn stop drinking booz. NOW, let me tell you I LOVE Wine but it kills my stomach.

After about 3 days, I had a pretty major dizziness episode while out http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=20644 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:20:16 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=21959 How revealing! My doctor only insists that dizziness is part of my aging process---a too simplistic answer for me to digest . http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=21959 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:50:35 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=23138 I have exactly the same thing and I've only just realised that it is the Omeprazole!! I am kicking myself because it's so obvious now I think about it!! I take the 20mg pill at about 8am in the morning and by 10am I feel as though I am on some crazy mind- http://www.medications.com/effect/view/27418?item=23138
