Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

As you are on Anti-tubercular medications, the most possible reason for your upper chest pain is Gastritis. Which is caused by these medications.

So nothing to worry much , you better consult your treating physician, he will treat with antacids.

Hope I have clarified your doubt.
