What Is The Dosage For Omeprazole?

I took 2 Omprezole without realizing the label said for heartburn 2 or more times a week. I took the capsules at 12:30 a.m. as I ran out of Tums. Immediately I felt a burning sensation in my esophagus that seems to be going away. Now as I read more about it, I realize I am supposed to take only 1 capsule a day if experience heartburn 2 or more times a week. What will happen if I took 2? Do I need to eat in one hour?
