Here it is January 2014 and I am pretty sure I have one of the possible side affects of taking omeprazole, severe itchy skin. Twice in the last month I stopped taking it for a few days and believe I even had a withdrawal side affect. This was when I was just falling to sleep it felt like I could not breath.

I was diagnosed with GERD about a year ago and have been on 20mg Omeprazole twice per day every since. I had a barium swallow in April 2015 when I had the same feelings, and nothing was found except GERD.
It almost feels like its radiating to my upper back.
I'm thinking Esophagitis? Unsure if there are any other remedies for this or if Omeprazole has stopped working.
The discomfort , of course, also has my anxiety in over-drive most of the day, which I'm sure does not help.
I have been drinking alcohol for about 3-4 years and for about one and a half of those years, every time I have drunk alcohol I have got a severe chest pain. Unlike most people who say to experience similar symptoms, it seems to happen after 2+ drinks and takes about 2 hours to start taking effect. After many agonising nights, I have discovered the only substance I can take to stop the pain is numerous painkillers.
