How do I know if I am allergic to Omeprazole?

I have been ill for five months but don't know what it is?

• I'm 15 years old and ever since I got back from a school trip I have felt ill pretty much every day. It started off as a virus but never went away. I generally feel sick and get stomach aches and get a lot of hicccup/burps. I sometimes get hot flushes. It tends to be worse when i'm nervous or sometimes I get worried I will feel ill while trying to do something like go out with my friends and the worrying makes it worse. I have had a blood test, a barium meal and a throat endoscopy but they showed nothing. I have taken omeprazole and lansoprozol but they have not helped. I know this is not the best place to ask for medical advice but I don't know whatto do can anyone help me? Thank you

• Answer:

  that sounds more like anxiety attacks than any thing else. No amount of stomach medication will fix something that isn't broken. Anxiety causes all sorts of odd symptoms. My sister tells me her heart feels like it will pound its way out of her chest. She also gets so wound up when leaving her home that she has to have a bowel movement NOW! no waiting. Anxiety is a mental issue. It can manifest itself in a variety of ways as physical symptoms of being ill, a blinding unreasonable fear, throwing up, chest pain, stomach issues etc. Next doctors visit, ask about anxiety. My sister went to therapy and learned strategies to deal with the symptoms and was also medicated for a time. That was 30 years ago...she is doing well now on minimum medication. She is a mother of 4, runs her own maid service business and is fairly successful. Before treatment she was slowing becoming house bound as the symptoms always got worse when she left the house.
