There was a week between going off the Prilosec and all the PACs starting, so what makes you think they're connected?

Omeprazole (Prilosec) has a very short half-life, on the order of less than an hour, so it's completely out of your system within about 8 hours. I don't think connecting Prilosec and the PACs makes sense.

My PACs started after I stopped Omeprazole. I had some flecainide and took that and they stopped for a while.
I have now been prescribed 200mgs slow release flecainide and that controls the PACs well.

Bettylou... Sorry about your problem. A number of years ago, I had some GERD issues that were resolved and led to my post on No More Heartburn... which is archived at this link [afibbers.org]
You can skim thru to see if anything there is similar to your experiences.
Best to you,
Jackie

Could celiac be at play here?

Bettylou.... also note that if there is a dairy sensitivity or lactose intolerance, you need to address that by taking the lactase enzyme whenever you eat anything that contains dairy. The sensitivity reaction is bloating and gas symptoms.
These are tablet or capsule form... easy to carry and use 'on demand' when needed.
Natural Factors has a reliable product and there are 'generic types of Lactaid' at local drug stores.
Certainly worth trying if you haven't ruled that out.

Bettylou, if it is the case, unbeknownst, that you ARE celiac, the considered limit of consumption of gluten is less than 20 ugm/diem. That is 'less than 20 micrograms...', about what would stick to a toothpick inserted 10 mm into a slice of bread.
I'm not an expert in the subject, and certainly not a physician (at least not of any repute ), but my wife was diagnosed celiac at the age of 56. We have both had to accept that even tiny bits of cross-contamination, or actual willful ingesting, of gluten-laden foods will cost her for weeks.
Or, it might be an intolerance to something else you ingest routinely, whether dairy, nitrites, rancid plant-derived linoleic acids/other PUFAs, etc. Maybe even a binder or filler in a medication or supplement you take most days.
