Could taking digoxin and lisinopril before I get up make me short of breath and wheeze?

Talk with your doctor.

I do not know the "brand" names you referring to but if either is a beta blocker then it is common from one, especially when first starting, to have some fatigue and even lightheaded feelings.  Shortness of breath could also be a side effect I believe.

It is best to discuss the side effects with your prescribing doctor, try to be specific, for example, I feel a shortness of breath if I walk up stairs or an incline.. or maybe just getting up and walking on a level surface, whatever the case may be.
