it is designed to reduce the acid in your stomach so yeah

yes, Because it shuts down many active acid pumps that produce acid be leave enough for digestion. You should try a different prescription because I read that it takes 1-2 day for full effect and some people can't wait that long. Try other like Zantac, Pepto-Bismol, Pepcid Ac, Pepcid Complete, etc.

That's true.

Prilosec (Omeprazole) is used to treat various acid-related stomachs and / or throat (esophagus) problems (e.g., GERD, ulcers, erosive esophagitis, or Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome).
