If you are taking fish oil have you checked to see if it is Rancid? Fish oil is sometimes taken for its source of Omega-3 fatty acids. However if the fish oil is rancid it may be doing your body harm instead of providing the health benefits you were seeking.
If the oil is bad you may notice that you are burping up a unpleasant odor. The easiest way to test is to cut open the capsule and take a smell and taste to make sure it is still fresh.
Storing the capsules in the fridge will help them keep but testing the capsules should be done every other week or so to prevent consumption of rancid oils.
