Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Yes...
This is NOT normal
You should go back to the hospital for further assessment and assistance...
Omeperazole is given for acidity (gastric)...!?
Swelling of feet and ankles have several reasons – heart (failure) / kidney / liver / veins (insufficiency or clot) / low protein and anaemia...etc
Check with your doctor...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
