Could Taking Sotalol Cause Dizziness?

I have been on sotalol for about 3 years. Now I am having shortness of breath when I do mild exertions, such as take my dog for a walk. Also, I have flashes of light-headiness of dizzeness--just a brief flash and ii is gone. Could that also be attributed to sotalol?
