Hi
If the GP had give you omeprazol for cronic cough he had suspect for reflux as the cause of cough.For reflux of gastric content in the esophagus better perform fibrogastroscopy procedure.
If i were your doctor first i would do a.chest.X Ray ,a Spirometry an EKG and then to decide for the treatment.
Thank you
Dr Jolanda
