A member asked:

Can omeprazole cause dizziness and palpitations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jay Dinerman answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Yes: Dizziness is reported in 2% of patients treated with omeprazole. Although not necessarily related to omeprazole, pain and discomfort caused by the condition for which Omeprazole is taken (eg. Heartburn) can lead to elevated adrenaline responses that are known to cause palpitations.
