Side effects + Fluoxetine?

I've been suffering for a little while with depression and anxiety and after the doctors dicking round, trying every drug in sight I've just been put on 40mg of fluoxetine. Has anyone else suffered any serious side effects with this AD? My chest seems to be really tight and hurts if I try and take a deep breath. I'm not sure if it's the tablets or the anxiety but I'm hoping someone will know! I've googled the symptom I know, stupid and others have mentioned it but I don't remember seeing it on the side effects list. TIA

I have just started 20mg and for the first few days my chest was tight for about 2 hours after taking them, but seems to have stopped now.
