Dizziness is a frequent side effect of Dexilant and omeprazole. Their common side effects are headache, rash, pruritus, dizziness, fatigue, cough, back or
abdominal pain, arthralgia and myalgia, urticaria, dry mouth,
photosensitivity, bullous eruption, fever, angioedema,
bronchospasm,
anaphylaxis, somnolence, aggression, vertigo, and insomnia.
This is not
heart attack. Heart attack will cause chest pain and breathlessness. But for safety, get done an ECG.
