I have been taking OMEprazole for approximately 2.5 months and recently I feel dizzy to the point I want to get a doctor appointment to have an MRI or CT scan on my head - my fear is that I have a brain tumor. I feel dizzy as if I am going to pass out, occassional sharp pains in my head and I feel sick to my stomach. I also feel extremely tired and recently like the left side of my body is weak.

I am going to stop taking Omeprazole today to see if this is the side effect of the medicine. Anyone have similar experiences. If so, how soon do they stop after you stop taking the medicine? I was concinced I had a brain tumor - not so sure now.

PS I am a very healthy 50 year old who is a marathon runner. Lately I have sucked on my runs due to exhaustion.

I have been on Omerprazole since 2/1/05 and have not felt normal since. I get chest pains, and a anxious or nervousness feeling. I have had CT scans, ultrasounds, EKG, all normal. I haven't experienced these symptoms prior to taking the medication. I have noticed on this site that a lot of people have had better experiences with Prilosec, I am calling my Dr. ASAP to make the change, hope it helps, I am eager to feel like myself again.

My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague. His blood work consistantly comes back with low amylase and lipase. Yet they dont see any need for further investigation. I have been told he has a sensitive stomach. As a mother I see more. I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...
