7 Weeks Pregnant with Shortness of Breath, Prescribed Qvar-anyone Else?

Since about 4 weeks along, I have had such a hard time breathing! I cannot run like I was doing everyday, I can walk but not for very long. Doc has tested me, looks like I am okay. He prescribed Qvar, but I read that It causes birth defects in animals. It's a category C drug. He seemed fine with it, but I am nervous. I finally started taking 1/2 the dose because I am having such a hard time breathing. Has anyone had this strange symptom during early pregnancy and has anyone taken Qvar during pregnancy?
