Should I Have To Stop Taking Spiriva Respimat?

I'm taking Spiriva Respimat 5mcg per day. I recently read a report in 'Pulse Today' that taking this medication can increase death by 50% I have been in touch with my Dr and he told me he couldn't help me and that I had to come back in three weeks. Should I stop taking it?

Thank you - Graham.
