Sudden side effects nausea and lightheadedness on day 4?

Is this normal? Its been 4 days since taking amiltriptilyne and the first 3 days everything went just fine, didnt have any side effects but now day 4 i woke up with intense nausea like i was about to vomit, lightheadedness and i also have very vivid dreams.
Are these side effects of The amiltriptilyne or a coincidence? And why are they happening after a few days ans not instantly.

I started ppi’s in july 2025 because of an odd pain i felt in the middle of my back, especially when i ate. I found it annoying so i thought let me try ppi’s and see if it goes away .. well, after 6 weeks i suddenly developed severe GERD which i never had before in my life and ineffective oesophageal motility which i kinda think i already had but never had issues with until the reflux started to flare up.

I never ever in my life ever had bad reflux, my gastroparesis was always mild, the only time it was really bad was when i had h pylori but when it was gone i was back to my baseline.

But now my stomach is at a stand still.. its worse its ever been, not only that my entire oesophagus is hurting and irritated and i really suspect my PPI use to be the culprit.
Im using 20mg twice a day, one morning and one before dinner.

Has anyone experienced something similar with ppi’s slowing down the stomach even more?
