You need to learn how to control your breathing during and after running. Go to google.com and type in breathing techniques and look for anything about athletes or police officers and find the easiest way for you to control your breathing. Trust me it used to happen to me as well, but since I have been training to become a police officer I have learned how to control my breathing and I feel a hell of a lot better. Good luck.

Do you know when chest pain is OK?
Never.
Time to visit another doctor. A cardiologist would be good.
Paid users can see other questions a user has asked, but not who the user is, of course, and I noticed that you have been taking Prozac. Did you know it can cause cardiac problems? Rapid heartbeat is one of the side effects.
Not saying this is what it is, but any doctor you talk to needs to know about this.
There are a pile of heart related side effects listed there.
If this happened before the Prozac, then never mind that.
Your heart should hurt... Never. If your doctor says it is nothing, get to a dedicated heart specialist who has a better knowledge of the heart than the average doctor.
I am not a doctor, and can only say: Ask your doctor, and talk to another one if you don't feel right about the answers you get.
