Suggest Remedy For Pain And Tightness In Chest

I have frequent heart and chest pains after taking meloxicam 15mg daily. I had been taking it for about 4 months and the pains and tightness are daily. Sometimes they burn, sting, or are sharp. They are also in various areas in my chest. They aren't excruiciating though.
