I have been diagnosed with an ejection fraction of less than 35 and a severe cardiac arrhythmia ( 32000 pvc's per 24 hrs ). My cardiologist put me on Coreg and gradually worked me up to a dosage of 25 mg BID. The arrhythmia has dropped to 37 but I feel absolutely horrible since being on the Coreg. I am constantly dizzy and fatigued. The slightest effort requires that I stop and rest. I feel like I have no strength nor any ambition to do anything. I have also gained weight.
I am taking 2x12.5 mg coreg (carvidilol) for last three years and was able to tolerate it.
Now, after three years, for last one month, I am having low bp. Down to 95/65 from normal of 110/70. This is creating problems for me. I feel tired, stomach upset and dizziness, necessity to clear my throat constantly.
Over last 3 yesrs I have gradually reduced my ramipril (ACE-I) dosage from 2x6.25 to 2x1.25. So I am already low on ramipril. I cannot go down further on ACE-I. My EF is 30-35%.
Two, Coreg is an excellent medication, and despite the dizziness and fatigue, you will probably begin feeling better soon. Three, please please visit a website called A Mother's Heart. It is a support network just for women with PPCM! You'll be welcomed with open arms, and there is a world of information available to ease your mind. The women are just wonderful there.
Congrats on the birth of your new little ones!
I was taking 100mg atenolol without food for hypertension but my glucose went up so my doctor switched me to Coreg 25mg twice a day. He said it does not matter if you take it with or without food. All i keep reading is to take with food....
I was just diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy with an EF of 40%. I am not on any drugs yet, but I am worried about the effects of beta blockers and ACE inhibitors. I generally have normal to low blood pressure and am worried that these drugs will lower my blood pressure even more causing me to feel lightheaded (which I already do sometimes) and perhaps even faint. I have a 6-yr-old daughter to take care of and can't afford to be incapacitated by dizziness.
My PCP removed the metropol and put me on benicar 20mg. A couple of weeks later I went to see a cardio doc for chest pain and dizziness. He admitted me overnight and They did a stress test with an echo, they also did 3 blood tests to check to see if i had a heart attack. Everything was fine and he switched me to Coreg. The chest pains got worse and my PCP switched me from the Coreg to Benicar 40mg since my BP was not low enough and my chest pains increased on the Coreg.
Hi I was on Tiazac for about 6 ot 7 days and i skipped a few days of it,i have been feeling extremely dizzy and i saw my heart dr yesterday and he told me to stop the tiazac and he is puttting me on Coreg 6.
She has no symptoms of CHF and was having some palpitations with dizziness (maybe once a week) which prompted EKG and later echo. She started Coreg (working her dose up) and Dig.
First question is she is having a cath done next week is this standard?
Next she is supposed to follow up with electrophysiologist and CHF clinic. Will they hold off on ICD or PM to see if EF increases or is it something they do early in the process?
She is not overweight and does not smoke or even really drink.
The main problem is I have every side-effect from the Coreg. (dizziness,headache,nausea,light headed ness and worst of all I have developed ED because of the meds.) My Cardiologist wants to double my Coreg dosage to 6mg twice daily.
I barely function now as it is, I've been on them for a month. I feel HORRIBLE!! My cardiologist say to dump all the supplements and only take the Meds. She doesent want to change the current treatment of meds. I'm now seeking a second opinion.
I have paroxysistic supraventricular tachycardia. I'm taking Coreg 6.25 and Rythmol (propafenone hidrochlorate)150mg once daily. I'm 85. Am I on the right medication please?
My cardio has put me on coreg and has plans to do a cardio ablation next year. Should I be very concerned and should I have more extensive treatment?
What could be causing this is adrenal problem. Triggers are caffeine, black licorce, and exercise. The Metoprolol blocks this. There is a drug that is a beta blocker called "Coreg". Coreg blocks more receptors. You may want to talk to your doctor about Coreg to see if that drug will make you feel better. Stay away from the triggers and if it happens during exercise, rest. I have episodes of this also, but my episodes are only a few times a month.
I had a minor heart attack in August 2008 and I had 5 stents put in. I was started on coreg 6.25 two tmes per day. The dr recently reduced me to 3.125 because of weight gain. I am still gaining weight. I decided to stop it altogether and did not tell my dr. My resting pulse is up as well as my pulse rate upon exertion. I just stopped the coreg. Will this regulate itself in a few days.
He has me dropping to 12.5 of the Coreg and 50mg of the Tenormin twice a day for 4 days and then 6.25 Coreg and 50 Tenormin twice a day for 4 days, and then only the Tenormin 50 to 75 twice a day depending on BP numbers.
Any one have any knowledge or thoughts about this?
BTW I trust my Cardiologist but am nervous anytime I have to change meds!
This caused me to become very fatigued and my doctor attributed it to the Coreg so he switched me to 10mg Norvasc every day (after weaning off the Coreg for 3 days). This was 2 weeks ago and I'm still feeling the same fatigue. How long does Coreg stay in your system after you stop taking it? I know that Lexapro can cause tiredness as well, but my doctor seemed to think otherwise.
Try cutting back, and it is not unusual for the heartrate not to increase very high with exercise. I believe you asked about another beta blocker as a substitute for coreg. Coreg as a dual mechanism as it also has an ACE inhibitor effects that helps dilate vessels. It is highly recommended for heart patients. Take care.
I am curious as to your opinion regarding the use of coreg for blood pressure control for a juvenile diabetic, with renal problems (37%) function. The coreg causes problems controlling the blood sugar in the patient, and it causes bouts of vomiting and loss of consciousness it also causes very low blood pressures, fatigue and shortness of breath.
Other than lowering your pulse and blood pressure, if you took Coreg but did not need it, could it cause other damage? What symptoms would you have? I am on Coreg as a trial to see if it fixes my chronic shortness of breath. I just wondered if it was safe to do so or if it could cause permanent damage if in fact I did not need it.
