I'm not a doctor but there are HBP meds that you can take so I'd get on one of those (I'm on Diovan HCT) if oyu still need one. Also, there are other things besides Prilosec for your GERD. And I think it all may be the GERD rather than the asthma. You need to get the digestive issue straightened out and then see what else - if anything - is going on.
