Yes, you are right that omeprazole is given to treat various conditions like gastric irritation, heartburn, acid reflux, etc. The medication you mentioned can cause gastric irritation; thus, it is advised to take omeprazole along with it. I will suggest you consult a psychiatrist for your symptoms as he is better trained to treat your depressive symptoms. If you are comfortable with online consultation you can contact us for an appointment.

Since the headache is there for a long time and you have already used a variety of medications, I think it's time you get an mri done to rule out some structural lesion. Also you may consider consulting a neurologist dm neurology, cause self medication for prolonged periods can be dangerous at times. Also get your blood pressure checked.

Painkiller overuse is a very common cause of chronic headache. You should use drugs like saridon not too often. Your medication history is incomplete as an medications can trigger headache also.

No, one single drug will not cause any harm. However consistently taking it without food or taking higher concentrations may cause serious issues.

It can be because of many reason from simple reasons like not sleeping on time or sleeping too much, stress, have long hours of fasting, dehydration to causes like sinusitis, migraine, high blood pressure, tumor etc. Do this 1. Take adequate night sleep 2. Eat at regular intervals. As starvation/gas can trigger headache 3. Avoid things that can trigger headache. Common triggers include alcohol, caffeine or poor sleep. Inculcate good sleep practices like having a regular bedtime schedule and avoiding naps, caffeine and tv before bedtime. 4. Don't take stress- pursue an enjoyable activity or verbalising frustration to reduce stress and improve mental health. 5. Avoid foods that you know triggers your headache. 6. Hot packs and heating pads can relax tense muscles. Warm showers or baths may have a similar effect 7. Drink water. “dehydration can be a big cause of headaches,” for this homeopathic treatment is very effectivefor more details you can consult me.
