“Abdominal pain?”
I started to have stomach pain on 12/28/2021 with diarrhea and vomiting and it was hard to breathe. After that, I only have pain in my stomach, pains after I eat, and my stomach is floating after I eat. The pain happens more at night with a burning feeling. I took Omeprazole for 2 weeks and it didn't stop the pain, so I took Dicyclomine. For the last 2 days, it more pain I feel nausea after I eat, sometimes hard to breathe after eating.

Seems you may have an ulcer, probably duodenal as it hurts more when you eat, since you are over 50 would be a great idea to get an endoscopy, they should also test you for Helicobacter pylori.
At this point, some investigations need to be done. Lab work and imaging /CTscan abdomen.
Maybe you had an stomach or intestinal infection that has now caused a lot of upper GI sensitivity. It is not an acid problem because the omeprazole doesn't help. You should at least consider an evaluation by a primary care doctor or GI to examine you and determine if any diagnostic testing should be done. It has been going on for more than 1 month, so you probably should be seen.
Stop self-medicating. See a Gastroenterologist for your evaluation.
I highly recommend making an appointment with a GI doctor to further explore.
