To help with potassium depletion, i stopped ben 40/hct 12.5 and started ben 40 mg. getting sob sensation all day at rest with no exertion. any idea?

Something else: 12.5 mg of HCT is a tiny dose. It can help lower BP when used with other meds as you were doing but would have no effect on fluid status overall, thus can't be related to your breathing problem. You have something else going on ! Withdrawal of HCT is NOT the cause. You need to be looked at : chest x-ray, BNP, TSH, CBC, d-dimer, EKG, ?treadmill stress test, etc.
