Brief Answer:
Antacid can be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query. Painkillers usually cause gastritis leading to feeling of tightness of chest.
I would advise that you should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg.
If your symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
