If you say “I’m taking some break” people will understand you.
However, it will sound more correct if you say “I’m taking a break” or “I’m taking a short break”... or even “I’m taking some breaks”.
In English, “break” is singular.
You don’t need the pronoun “some”, unless you are taking more than one break (“breaks”).
Instead, use the indefinite article “a” in this context.
