Good morning @eileena. I think Teresa @hopeful33250 is on point with her recommendations a couple of hours ago. In the meantime, let me add that, as a Coreg user for a couple of years, I rely on this medication to both stabilize my heart rate and reduce my high blood pressure (I also take a diuretic and Lisinopril for my hypertension).

Your blood pressure levels are interesting in two respects: First, they are at the low levels that I'd prize; I rarely find my BP to be less than 140/88. Second, the variations you report (127-134 systolic and 66-70 diastolic) don't strike me as worrisome or particularly significant; BP often varies that much from hour to hour, from sitting to standing, from resting to walking, from before a meal to after one, from during an a-fib incident to after one. I'm also impressed with the minimum daily dosage of Coreg (6.25mg per day) you have been taking, since mine is 50mg.

As Teresa has advised, your experience with Coreg as you describe it is a basis for a good conversation with your cardiologist about the interaction of your BP, your heart rate, and the medication. Martin

@predictable Martin:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. As I've never taken this particular medicine or had A-fib, my experiences are not quite like yours. I hope that @eileena is helped by these thoughts.

He approved of my weaning off Coreg, probably be I have not really had high BP so much since my Quad bypassWill see him in December s will be off the Coreg by then
