Panicking doesn't help but I feel it may be a lack of food that's doing it. I'm not proud in any way to admit this but I used to not eat alot on purpose a while ago, no more than 800 calories a day. Anyway this gave me the same symptoms you describe, maybe try some soup or something simple like that? I know how hard it is to eat when you don't feel like it but it more than likely will help :)

I also would agree that it sounds like lack of food.

If I don't eat then I will start feeling sick, which in turn makes it harder to eat. Also, even though you are on Omeprazole, your stomach acid will have nothing to work on and therefore will cause added discomfort. Add to this the fact of not eating will also start to make you dizzy as your blood sugar levels change and other things start to occur which will not make you feel that great.

I have also discovered that eating things like crackers and even rice cakes actually increase your acid levels. Rice cakes are better eaten when you are eating normal meals as a snack but I wouldn't rely on them as a stomach settler, surprising I know. I would of thought that rice cakes would of absorbed any excess acid but this is not the case with me anyway.

Don't forget that as Anxiety sufferers we have far too much acid and therefore have to take this into account. Your tiredness will also contribute to the lack of food factor (or rather the other way round)!
