Is Wheezing At Nights Due To Increased Dosage Of Omeprazole?

I have recently started to wheez. It s usually at night. Sometimes, but not often, during the day. I had acute bronchitis for the month of December into January. That seems to have all cleared up. I feel fine but for this wheezing. It often keeps me awake at night. I also take omeprazole for acid reflux and about a month ago had my dosage of that doubled. Could the wheezing be a side effect of the medication. I take no other meds and feel fine except for the wheezing. Thanks for any help you can give me.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Omeprazole has lots of side effects. Some patients get muscle pain. Wheezing is also a side effect but to a lesser level. Try to switch it to rabeprazole during daytime once daily.
