Could Irregular Heartbeat Be A Side Effect Of Taking Omeprazole?
I am currently taking Omeprazole for acid reflux. Tonight, I am noticing that my heartbeat is irregular - like my heart flutters or skips a beat. I am concerned that this is one of the side effects and wonder what I should do as this is making me nervous and unable to fall asleep.

Hi,
Many a times this type of feeling you find in anxiety.
But to rule out any cardiac problem go for EKG and go for tracing.
If any abnormality is found in EKG, consult cardiaologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
