Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The mentioned drug is used in heart failure case. So it's not that you have stopped medication by your own. Dyspnea can occur because of uncontrolled heart failure case. Investigate with EKG just now and continue medication for heart failure.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
