Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a sinus infection.
It is less likely that your symptoms are related to switching to omeprazole, as it is a similar drug to pantoprazole.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing sinus X ray study coupled with a sinus discharge study.
If these tests result normal, I would recommend trying to switch again to pantoprazole for some days. If this helps improve your situation, it would indicate possible low tolerance to omeprazole.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing good health,
