I stopped taking omeprazole about six weeks ago. I think at the same time I developed a head cold and a cough. I went to the doctor, no chest congestion and no antibiotic prescribed. Six weeks latter I have a nagging cough. Is there any correlation with a cough and stopping omeprazole. Maybe I should go back on omeprazole? By the way I have been taking apple cider vinegar in the morning, an aloe mixture before every meal and a Pepcid ac at lunch and dinner. The gerd does not really seem to bother me much but the cough seems to linger some days better but now seems to be lingering. I don't know if its my imagination but I seem to be more tired then usual. Thank you Anthony
