coreg tired

Coreg can make a person feel extremely tired and loss of energy. Coreg is the best beta blocker as it blocks more receptors than Tropol XL. There is a medication that is being used in Europe that hopefully will be here in the US soon. It is a combination of Coreg and Tropol XL, I believe. This gives all the benefits of Coreg and reduces the tiredness that people complain about. Our relatives in Europe use the medication and have energy to travel to US and all around the states.

Of the medications you listed, I am very familiar with Coreg. Coreg is well known for causing profound fatigue. It's a fight to cope with it. Every one I know that takes it has fatigue problems. For suggestions, see http://www.wikihow.

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 just sent Ken an email, but thought I would post this to the forum: I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in summer of 2006. I'm on coreg (50mg) and enalapril (20mg) along with other supplements. My EJ varies from 25% to mid-40s. The coreg makes me so tired I can barely walk a mile. On my own I've cut my dosage at times by half, taking only 25mg at night so I can function the next day. That works for me, but I know my doctor says not to do that.

I started taking a low dosage of Coreg to raise my EF and slowly increased it. I got tired at first but my body adjusted quickly. It did increase my weight initially but the weight came off again. Coreg did indeed raise my EF out of the CHF range and I feel 100% better, so I had a completely different outcome. I would suggest you see if you can talk to a Cardiologist at a research hospital to see why BP drugs react so strangely with you. Good luck.

Of course, lots of things can cause headaches, but the fact that you did not have headaches before you were put on Coreg--and now you DO--makes a pretty strong case that Coreg is in some way responsible. Call your doctor and report this problem.

Thanks for the tip! I'll talk to my doctor more about the Coreg. I take 20 mg once per day, which is, I believe a somewhat low dosage. I'm curious if the Coreg makes everyone feel so tired all the time. I've read/heard many people say that it does. It certainly wipes me out. Good luck with round 2 on your ICD! By the way, how was the replacment surgery compared with the original?

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!

My cardio gave me some samples of 10 mg coreg to take once a day and a prescription to fill if the side effects from the metoprolol do not get any better. The side effects from the metoprolol have gotten a little better - I don't feel as exhausted, though as I type this my heart rate is 52 bpm. Plus when I go walking I can't get my heart rate above 95 bpm. Does any one have any comments on the pros and cons of carvedilol versus metoprolol?

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.

Bystolic and diabetic, Hypertension meds... I am tired all the time and have not been given a real idea of prognosis.

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.

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.

I take coreg twice a day, but coreg cr is a slow release medication for once a day. The recommendation is 1 capsule each morning wih breakfast that will help lower blood pressure all day and all night.

It seems logical to take the medication with the morning meal. I take Coreg twice a day, rather than Coreg CR one a day with the extended release. My blood pressure and heart rate is very good.

I just posted something similar under an old question, so thought I would make it a separate expanded post. I've been on coreg (50mg) since I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2006 (age 54). I've seen doctors from UT Southwest to the Cleveland Clinic. My ejection fraction has been measured from mid 20s to mid 40s. The latest heart cath put it at 30%, the most recent echo put it at 36%.

I take Coreg CR 20 mg per day. I have noticed since taking it, my energy level has decreased, but then it seemed to improve, but then I started on Lisinopril and energy level dropped again, then after a month or so improved, then I got sick a lot (have small kids with big mean germs) and my energy level fluctuates, so don't know what to think. All this has occured over about a 4 month period...probalby not long enough to make me any kind of expert.

More troubling is that I just began a cardiac rehab program, and did a treadmill workout at a speed/incline/duration (30 minutes) that I have been doing for years - so I know what my response should be. Normally, my heart rate would be around 130-135, and the coreg (presumably) kept it down around 115-120. I felt fine, and was encouraged - but afterwards, I felt extremely fatigued for the rest of the day, and had a great deal of soreness in my legs.

Hi. I posted after my ablation for flutter over a month ago. I'm in normal sinus rhythm so far, and praying every day. I have a EF of 34 and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy believed to be from chemo in 2006. Minor scarring on MRI. I have a question about beta blockers and fatigue. I'm so very tired. Many of us are from these drugs. I'm on Coreg. My EP took me off lisinopril 2 weeks ago, as my BP was 82/54.
