Can Omeprazole Be Taken Post Intake Of Atorvastatin?

I have been prescribed atorvastatine 40mg once daily to be taken after evening meal. It was ok for first few days. However I am feeling stomach upset and having increased blood pressure. I have mild gastritic problems. Is it ok to take omeprazole 20mg if my stomach is upset after taking atorvastatine.
