Hello,

Chest pain, numbness and tingling & weight gain are side effects of taking Omeprazeole.

Since you are having these symptoms you are suggested to inform your treating doctor so that you can discontinue omeprazole while you can be prescribed with medicine that suits you better.

Cut on carbohydrates, sweet, trans fat, refined flour, etc.
In the meantime, do regular exercise & take healthy diet. Avoid spicy, oily, fried food & salty food. Maintain healthy weight.

You are suggested to get clinically examined & get a general health check up done to rule out any developing coronary artery disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
