Has anyone read the reports from July last year 2017 premature death in people taking this from 3 months onwards the longer you take it the more risk you have to your body I’m horrified because I’ve been on this drug for 2 and half years off and on and now I’ve had h. Plyori I have had to take it again wanted to take ranitidine but gastro specialist said no 40 mg Omeprazole so I took 20mg hate this drug and all side affects heart palpitations nausea blurred vision and shaky if like me I had heartburn and went doctors 2and half years ago and they just dished out the Omeprazole DONT TAKE THEM ! I didn’t know enough about these drugs and the doctors just dish them

Calm down.  Go to medscape and type PPIs Linked to Higher Risk for Death (you must login first) and your anxiety will decrease...

I've been taking PPI's since 2001 and I'm now 83. A doctor I see has been taking them for even longer.

It sounds like her side effects " heart palpitations nausea blurred vision and shaky " are suspiciously like anxiety from taking the meds.

I started taking Prevacid, moved on to omeprazole back in the late (?) 90's, and took them pretty consistently, switched a couple years or so ago to 10 mg from 20, but I did have a lot more anxiety, heart flutters, etc., so I decided not long ago to stop.  I do have to still take rantinidine 150 mg at least twice daily, even though I did change my diet a lot.  Christmas I didn't take my rantinidine with me to my brother's house, and couldn't wait to get home to get one.  I will say I miss not having heartburn and reflux at all, but I don't know, the jury is still out.  Many still take it, and seem to be fine.
