What Causes Dizziness And Headache While On Simvastatin And Amlodipine?

I have recently started taking simvastatin 20 mg and amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg. I was already taking carvedilol 6.25 mg. For the last two days I have been dizzy, headache and trouble breathing. I am debating stopping the amiodipine besylate. I don't know if that will be hurtful or helpful.
