I was prescribed various meds to help lower my blood pressure. Had side effects from lisinopril and valsartan. Was then prescribed Carvedilol and took it for 3 weeks. Working on diet and exercise to also lower BP which was 135/95 when prescribed. I had blood work done by functional medicine doctor and now do fasting and take supplements. After losing 20 lbs I made the choice to wean myself off Carvedilol by reducing dose to once a day for 1 week and then stopped taking it. Having a lot of withdrawal symptoms including chest aches. Nothing painful but just sore daily after 10 days. Curious if this should be gone by now.

Beta-blocker withdrawals can cause that, but you may also want to ask your Dr. to order labs to see if you have this medication out of your system, it is not safe at higher levels, once it accumulates in the body. I am still fighting the serious side effects. I hope you are safe.
