I would recommend contacting your Vets office to discuss the new symptoms. New medications can take a while to adjust to and your vet may be happy just to continue to monitor but if there is any weakness or shortness of breath an emergency check up would be recommended to rule out other complicating factors such as a respiratory tract infection or drug reaction
