Can Hydrocortisone Cause Indigestion?

I m taking hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency. Started 2 months ago on 10mg/5mg/5mg. I have acute and painful indigestion and am now taking omiprazol daily. Very tired all the time, not sleeping well, no energy. I take various meds. for angina and osteoporosis and my age is 87. My endocrinologist doubts that hydrocortisone is causing the indigestion - but my pharmacist disagrees!
