Hi,
I assume the heart rate which you have mentioned id after a run. It is normal to have that much of heart rate during and soon after any exertion. It is a physiological normal healthy response.
Empty sensation in the chest can not be attributed to any disease as such. But, you have been already checked for heart and lungs, I don't think you should bother about it much.
All the best.
Regards.
