Hi welcome to health care magic...
You are taking telmisartan drug for hypertension...
This drug can lead to dry cough as side effect...
Ectopic beat can be physiological....
But as you have dyspnea this time consult your cardiologist for examination , auscultation and if needed work up needed with echocardiography and tread mill....
If any significant cause like LVH revealed than specific treatment done (LVH can occur in chronic hypertension patient)
Take care
Hope this will help
