What Causes Chest Tightness, Lethargy And Neck Discomfort Post Intake Of Prilosec?

Hi, I have a history of acid reflux and have taken Prilosec for two days now. I haven t been feeling well and somehow it feels somewhat different from what I ve been feeling before. Feels like I gave something in my chest/throat and it feels like it s affecting my breathing. It feels like chest tightness but no chest pain. I also feel very lethargic, just want to keep on sleeping. The discomfort is mostly in the neck/chest, sinuses/eyes. Just overall, not feeling well....please advise. Thank you!
