Taking Omeprazole For GERD. Removed Gall Bladder. Dizziness, Breathlessness, Breast Pain. Any Advice?

I have been taking omeprazole for yrs for GERD and had my gall bladder out about 2 yrs ago. During the last year, I have been experiencing dizzy spells, shortness of breath (which I have been simply attributing to being out of shape), occasional pain/tightness near the top of my left breast and into my armpit. Sometimes the pain travels into my back, primarily settling up under my left clavicle and/or my left arm will feel "funny", Or up into my neck/jaw area. In the last week, my body aches from head to toe, sometimes causing me to slow down due to the discomfort, and my feet were tingling this morning. Occasionally my fingers and lower extremities swell. I had a stress test last year, but the Dr.s don't seem to be concerned as they have not pursued further action (even though the Cardiologist mentioned to me that during the test, once my heart rate elevated, the test indicated what appeared to be a slight arrhythmia 2-3 times. I have requested that they test further, as heart disease runs in my family on both sides (my biological father suffered a massive coronary at aprox 51 yoa after being diagnosed with Parkinson's and died). Diabetes also runs in the family on the maternal and paternal side. All of these symptoms come and go often but are beginning to come even more often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
