Omneprazole and numb fingers

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi - I have noticed if I take omneprazole continually for a few days I start getting numbness in my fingers - when this happens in the night I have to shake my hands when I wake up until I get proper feeling back. I mentioned this to my GP who reckoned what I was feeling was carpal syndrome in my wrist. I have since read the patient leaflet and noticed numbness/pins and needles can on rare occasions be a side effect. Before I go back and discuss again just wondered if anyone else had had these symptoms? Thank you.
