Hi Dibbles56

All meds doesn't work well for everyone, your doctor needs to change your meds.

I've been through many meds. It's trial and error.

I would call the md for the difficulty breathing. That's definitely not a side effect to be ignored.

I remembered once that I was on meds that gave me terrible headaches, dizziness, nasuea and shortness of breath. The dosage was too high, after lowering the dosage, haven't had a problem since.

I've read people with asthma cannot take certain high blood pressure meds (beta blockers) effects breathing. Propanolol was one of them. Certain beta blockers slows down receptors in your lungs. Your doctor should know this.
