Have had constant feelings like I'm about to faint for days now

so I have been taking omeprazole for about 2 months now, I'm only bringing this up because there may be connections. I take it for heartburn caused by my hiatal hernia. a few days ago, I was just standing around when I suddenly felt like I was going to pass out. I got a flush feeling across my chest leading to a week feeling in my body. I also started shaking and had on and off sweat and chills, like my body couldn't regulate its temperature. this has been going on constantly for the past few days. I'll just be sitting and I'll start sweating and feel like fainting. my arms and legs also constantly feel super weak. I went to the hospital and they said all of my vitals and blood tests came back perfect. they told me that it was vasovagal syncope caused by not taking the omeprazole for 2 days. I personally think that the omeprazole is what's causing this, possibly lowering my magnesium.

can anybody confirm or help out?
