shortness of breath/Victoza

[mimi281]

I've been taking Victoza since May 2011 and i've been experiencing shorthness of breath since Nov. 2011, I've had several tests for angina and my lungs and everything are ok. I was wondering if it could be the Victoza that is causing the shorthness of breath. I have diabetes type II and I'm taking Metformin as well as insulin. The Victoza has done wonders, it helps me have a better control and I have lowered my intake of insulin. Can someone help me?

I have been taking Victoza for the past year, I am now taking 1.2. Now and then I started getting short of breath. I have regular check ups and Dr's found no reason for me to be short of breath, not thinking anything about Victoza. This has been all me noticing this. I weaned back to 0.6 and after a few days the s.o.b. came back. I have since repeated this going back and forth, a few times. It always returns. Dr doesn't think it is the Victoza but there is nothing like repetitive results. I'm seriously thinking of just stopping it.
