Do not stop your medication... Just go to the ER and they can help you. The doctor there can decide what to do. You just might need a breathing treatment all the way to adjustment of your medication, maybe a chest x-ray.
You may have a blood clot. Go now, as it is better safe than sorry.

Expand this post...
If you are more tired than normal or feel dizzy, you should sit or lie down. You should also avoid driving and doing dangerous tasks. Beta-blockers may hide the symptoms of an overactive thyroid or low blood sugar, or may change your blood sugar levels. People with diabetes should tell their doctor about any changes in their blood sugar levels. People who wear contact lenses may make fewer tears or have dry eyes.
As with any medicine, patients taking COREG CR should first tell their doctor what other medicines they are taking. COREG CR should be taken with food.
