Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Omeprazole is a very safe drug generally. Very rarely does it cause side effects in patients who have well tolerated it initially.
Also, the symptoms that you complain of are not associated with Omeprazole.
You must consider your diet and overall health at this moment. Ensure weight management. Avoid stress, alcohol, smoking and red meat.
Being tired, fast heart rate etc are symptoms of hypertension. You must get your blood pressure and sugar tested.

Take care,
Regards
