Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
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.
