What Causes Trouble In Breathing During Medication For High BP?

I am on bystolic and amlodipine together for high blood pressure. I am experiencing a weird sence in my chest kinda hard to catch my breath or heaviness. I have been on these meds for a while but have lost weight and have been working out consistently. I am wondering if I'm overmedicating?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases like early heart failure fir your symptoms because you are known case of hypertension.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
Strict control of hypertension is needed.
You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
I don't think you are over medicating.
Consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
