Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Can I sue the police for being tasered? They charged me with a resisting without violence.. I was taking to the hospital and seems like ever since I got zapped been having chest pains. I already take high blood pressure meds and to top it off they shot me in the chest. Thanks!!
