About Coreg One A Day in Q&A

Has anyone tried the new Coreg CR that has been on Coreg twice a day? I have been taking 25 mg. twice daily for about 2 yr.'s now. Seems to get weak after 8 hr. Hoping that 80 mg cr would even out pulse rate some.

nadine d replied: "coreg cr is to lower chlorestrol the bad low denisity lipoproten in the blood corgeg cr regulates the chlorestrol levels so once your doctor has you on coreg he/she should montor your chlorestrol levels while on coreg cr"

If i take 60 mg of coreg cr a day for high blood pressure, (a beta blocker) does that mean my HTN is real bad? i am 25! my bp could go up to as high as 180/130 before meds, but that would only happen every once in a while....it was usually about 140/95-130/90. i have no organ damage...geez your 14? yours must have been out of controll for a while? is it primary or secondary HTN? mine seems to be primary.

claudia_disney_cruz replied: "Well, its not severe but I guess it's moderate. I take 25mg atenolol(beta-blocker) twice a day, making it 50mg. People someitmes take 100mg a day. Hyperension is different for every person. Im 14 years old and my hypertension and it already caused end-organ damage to my heart.( And I still only take 50mg a day)."

What are the alternatives for the heart failure drug, Coreg? My mother has had some issues arise with her health, since beginning the use of Coreg. Her white bone marrow cells are dropping and she is showing a loss in her kidney functions. Also she is showing in her blood work that anemia is creeping up on her. She is acting as if she may be allergic to this medication. Mom has reacted to Lumigan(which is also a beta blocker). Within six months of using lumigan, she was nearly blind in her. Her eye Dr. Put her on a different medication and the sight came back. She is allergic to the beta blocker(lumigan). after reasearching the beta blocker, coreg, I now see the possibility of her being allergic to the heart failure drug,Coreg. We will be seeing her Dr. in a couple of days and would like a suggestion as to what might replace the Coreg should the Dr. agree that this is possible.

Stingray replied: "There are more people dying from prescription drugs than you are allowed to read about. Had you mentioned why your mother was using Coreg, I could point you in the direction of Natural Physicians Healing Therapies which are proven remedies that Medical Doctors don't know about or don't use. There are pressure points all over the body that can clear up blocked points that control the well being of the heart and other bodily organs. There are countless vitamins and home remedies that work but the Major Drug Company talking points put all that down as hog wash. Try reading: Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About by Kevin Trudeau ... this book tells you about those "natural cures" that are already common knowledge. By the way, I am not a radical, I am a realist, and in case you haven't figured it out yet, . . . . . . .It's all about the money. Darryl S."

Mark S replied: "Look at this link then go the one below and witch the free movie. both guys are MD's that have reversed heart disease without drugs. See also"

Cogito ergo sum replied: "One possibility, which should not be taken without her doctor's permission, is Coenzyme Q10, often referred to colloquially as CoQ10, which causes the heart muscle to pump with greater strength, thus helping the body to eliminate excess water in the lungs, for example, which is a typical symptom of congestive heart failure, and the edema that accumulates in the lower legs. The elimination of excess water in turn reduces the burden on the heart, allowing it to pump more efficiently, resulting in a reduction in the typical enlargement of the heart that accompanies congestive heart failure."

c_sakal replied: "Well, coreg is also a beta blocker (well, it has alpha activity as well, but mostly beta) and there is also some evidence to indicate that it's the best beta blocker for heart failure. However, there are two drugs in that class which have FDA approval for heart failure and have shown some efficacy, coreg and Toprol XL. So in order to replace the coreg, she would be put on another drug in the same class, she is probably on drugs from other classes which have shown to improve survival in heart failure patients. However, if your mother has had so many problems with beta blockers in the past (I have to admit though, those are not common side effects, it's hard to imagine it's from the coreg) then possibly it may be best to stop them altogether, there are many other drugs that heart failure patients get put on, beta blockers are only one piece of the puzzle."

My doctor has prescribed coreg for my heart, 3.125 mg twice a day.? once in the morning and once in the evening. after taking my first dose Ifelt worse than i did before taking it. My heart muscle are weak and he said this medicine and doing ome other things would help to strenghten my heart. Has anyone else taken this medicine and did it help there heart.

ontopofoldsmokie replied: "Coreg is blood pressure med as well as for the heart. When you start taking blood pressure medicine you can sometimes feel rundown. It's a fairly common complaint when starting many types of blood pressure meds. Notify your doc if you get any dizziness. Weather it's dizziness when you are sitting or when you stand up from lying or sitting. If you are diabetic be extra careful as Coreg may mask the indications that your blood sugar is low. Check your blood pressure if possible when feeling bad. Check you pulse as Coreg can decrease your heart rate. Less than 60 beats/minute notify doc. These symptoms are transient usually. They will probably disappear with time."

How long can one last without the heart meds? When my doc and I discovered my heart problem she put me on Coreg; pretty soon it started working, but before it was time for the next dose I could "reeally" feel that I needed it soon. Now I can go a day or two without it and not notice much difference. If I skip a few days, then drink a few cups of tea to get the a-fib started before seeing the "heart" doc for my 6-mo. check-up, is there a chance he will pay attention and believe me, and schedule the Maze I asked for last time? Everytime I go my ecg is normal so he doesn't think I have the problem! What a dufas. I'll show him I DO, it'll be clear and big on the monitor like when my physician saw! Only I'm not looking forward to "not feeling good" when the arrhythmia starts and I'm wiped out for a week after it. I even had an event-holter monitor on for a month before and it showed nothing because the Coreg controlled it, so he said I didn't have anything and looked at me like I was silly. We'll see who's silly soon enough....

Lolly replied: "I guess im not understanding the problem. If the coreg is controlling the a fib, why not just keep taking it? Or is it not working anymore? Are you on any blood thinners or plavix? If you feel the dysrhythmia, which i believe you when you say you do, but your doctor does not believe you, perhaps you should see a different doc. Or go to the ER next time you feel the a fib come on, get an EKG and get it documented in your chart. I wouldn't suggest not taking the med to "prove" anything to your doctor. If you are not on a blood thinner and you stop taking the coreg to put yourself into afib, you are increasing your risk for a stroke. When your heart is in afib, it is not pumping efficiently and blood can pool and form a clot. When your heart does go back into normal rhythm the clot can travel to your brain causing a stroke, or your lungs causing a pulmonary embolism, both of which are bad news. Go to your doc and talk to him/her. Tell them how you are feeling, and that you are upset and don't feel like you are being heard. Best of luck."

PatsyAnn replied: "you shouldn't ever stop taking medications to "prove" something is wrong to a dr...if the dr you're seeing doesn't take you seriously, find a new dr who will...don't waste your money on someone who isn't willing to listen to you and try to help you...and especially don't risk your life to make a point...you might not live long enough to prove the dr is wrong and that he should have done something sooner...you can't prove anything if you're dead..."

mutantalbino replied: "Suggest you have Doctor #1 call Doctor #2. Triggering a-fib is a very dangerous game particularly to prove a point. Starting and stopping heart medications can be very dangerous. I'd hate you to go into v-fib. Do you want flowers or donations? If Coreg controls it - BE HAPPY! Just make sure it is monitored. A lot of people are not so lucky."

Anyone take lisinopril and coreg together? I take coreg 6.25mg 2x/day with lisinopril 1x/day at bedtime. Sometimes they make me very,very tired and drop my sys 100-105 and pulse to 57-63. Any help?

scslmd replied: "Lisinopril is an ACE Inhibitor and Coreg (carvedilol) is a alpha1-beta blocker. They can be prescribed separately or together in controlling hypertension (elevated blood pressure). From what you're describing, it appears that you may have too much of the medication and needs titration to a lower dose so your blood pressure can be a little higher. A low blood pressure can cause fatigue. An ideal blood pressure is systolic 120 and diastolic 60. You should mention your fatigue to your doctor. If he determines that your fatigue is due to the low blood pressure, he can adjust your medication accordingly. However, your fatigue may not be from the blood pressure medication at all so don't stop taking your medications until you see your physician."

D L replied: "yes, I take 37.5 mg coreg twice a day and 2 lisinipril daily i have beeen on it several years now. they recently incresed mine from 25 mg you should build up some tolerance as i have. my problem is chf as my dr told me the lisinipril is for helping the heart during its remodeling."

heart patient, should I go to doc or just wait out? Why my Coreg isn't seem helping? I am very new to this, I discover 8 month ago I have atrial fib. It was "untreated" before since didn't know that my "symptoms" ' were' symptoms of anything at all; I thought just "why my heart doing this sometime"? Then I have stroke because untreat heart problem make blood clot; I didn't know that what happen was "stroke", just wonder what was that? after 3 day I saw doc and start taking Coreg when my heart problem was on ECG. Last week on internet I learn what sympptoms for stroke, now I said Oh yeah, that what happened. But I don't know why all this week since atleast last Wed I feel my heart isn't right, is going fast or hard, and I always can feel when my blood pressure get high. All folk say impossible, but that super dumb; I feel very much. If abnormal I guess what maybe systolic, in 140's or 150's, then check and many time this week is in 150's. On Wed I finish 100 ml of water in only one hour! I'm very tired and breathe fast and shallow like panting. Then sometime ok.

Mark K replied: "I would go to the doctor. I had a clogged artery when I was younger and if you get tired easily from a minimal amount of exercise and have to bend over or sit down to catch your breath then you have a clot and you need to get it taken care of. I did and I have not had any problems since. I would go right now don't wait. You don't want to damage your heart anymore. You may go and it might be nothing but you will feel better for knowing."

Tanya968 replied: "See your doctor ASAP (as soon as possible). If any further symptoms, go to emergency - esp if chest pain or feeling faint. Doctor needs to check your heart rate and BP. Maybe you need medication adjusted. (Coreg works very well for some patients.) Tell doctor all that has happened / what you felt and what numbers you got on BP and pulse. Let your doctor evaluate your symptoms."

my doctor put me on a beta blocker calle coreg cr? 10 mg pill. once a day. side effects?? personal experience?? i aleready have a low heart beat in the 50's when resting sometimes in the 40's is that a problem?

Rhonda & Cats replied: "Some common side effects associated with COREG CR include shortness of breath, a slow heartbeat, weight gain, fatigue, hypotension, dizziness, faintness, or runny nose/sore throat. People taking COREG CR who have any of these symptoms should call their doctor. Additionally, if patients experience fatigue or dizziness, they should sit or lie down and avoid driving or hazardous tasks. Beta-blockers may mask the symptoms of an overactive thyroid or low blood sugar, or may alter blood sugar levels. People with diabetes should report any changes in blood sugar levels to their physician. Contact lens wearers may produce fewer tears or have dry eyes. As with any medicine, patients taking COREG CR should first tell their doctor what other medications they are taking. COREG CR should be taken with food."

MS S replied: "I would also go to drugs.com to see what a beta blocker is. pulse is very different from blood pressure, right? Perhaps request an urinalysis to see if your kidneys are healthy."

Gazi replied: "Beside consulting the doctor who prescribed you the medicine, use one tablespoon of honey and 5 almonds for low heart rate. if you are worried about your weight too then take honey(1 tablespoon) in the morning in warm water before you breakfast and 5 almonds after dinner. it will help a lot in side effects of medicine."
