Omeprazole and fingers

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 only linked the 2 to the medication just yesterday, googled it just now and confirmed my suspicions to the Omeprazole.

Other feeling i have had since taking this medication...

Severe dizziness
vertigo
palpitations
headaches/migraines
weakness
fatigue
sweating
nausea
bloating
stomach cramps
visual problems
intolerance to bright lights
aching joints
chest pain

Now my question to myself is do i come off the tablets and endure the misery of my acid reflux? surely there must be something else we can take for our stomach problems that don't cause these awful side effects.
Anyone tried anything else that worked and didn't make them unwell?

I have been taking Omeprazole for only a coupe weeks, I just now figued out that it is causing me a lot of problems. My insurance also forced me to change. I was taking Previcid and doing well, but now they won't pay for it. I am suddenly having my fingers go numb, cramping excess gas and bloating, pain in my right side, most of my body is cover in a rash that itches, constant headaches, some dizziness. I went to the Dr. today and recieved a Predizone shot and prescription that was helping until I took another Omeprazole tonight. Thats how I know it is doing this to me. People need to be forwarned about this medicine.
