Feeling of tightness in the chest and discomfort in the back may be due to different factors: from muscle strain or anxiety to digestive problems. It's crucial to keep in mind other signs, such as shortness of breath or chest pains that spread. Painkillers that can be bought without a prescription and gentle exercises could be useful in lessening such discomfort. However, in case of the continuation of your symptoms for some days already, I suggest that you consult a cardiologist.
