I am taking betapace and my legs seem to "tighten up" when I walk and I get short of breath is the medication

this does not happen all of the time. but I can't do a lot of things that I have done in the past (mowing the lawn)

some patients who took this did experience a similar side effect like yours. if it really gets to affect your daily lifestyle, then ask your doctor if they can give an alternative medication. otherwise, if its tolerable, then stick with it.
