Probably doesn’t help much, I’ve been on 2.5mg Felodipine for about two months now without any issues,

Breathlessness or shortness of breath isn’t a known side effect so it may well be another issue causing this. I’d urge you to talk to your doctor as soon as you can.

I take 5mg with no problems with with breathlessness. Increased doses can make ankles & feet swell.
