I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

I've been taking Tazloc Beta 25 for the last four years because of my high blood pressure and concentric LVH. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy all the time, dealing with weakness, having some erection issues, and frequently experiencing stomach upsets and indigestion. I'm really concerned and would love some guidance on how I can safely stop this medication without any side effects. Or if there are any alternative meds you might recommend?
It's essential to manage your blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) effectively, but experiencing side effects like dizziness, weakness, erectile dysfunction, and digestive issues is concerning. Tazloc Beta 25 combines telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and metoprolol (a beta-blocker). Stopping or changing this medication should only be done under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Here are steps to consider: 1. Consult your doctor: Schedule an appointment to discuss your side effects and the possibility of changing your medication. 2. Gradual adjustment: Your doctor may suggest a gradual reduction in dosage to minimize withdrawal symptoms and avoid a sudden increase in blood pressure. 3. Alternative medications: Your doctor may consider other classes of antihypertensive drugs, such as ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril), calcium channel blockers (e.g., amlodipine), or diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide), which might have different side effect profiles. It's crucial that any changes to your medication regimen are made under medical supervision to ensure your blood pressure remains controlled and to monitor for any potential side effects.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and why someone would need to have it done. I'm feeling a little anxious about all these procedures and would appreciate some clarity.
