Brief Answer:
Take the blood pressure and pulse and report to me first.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this rapid heartbeat. 114 might be suggestive for fibrillation but it is still some what low as afib would often present with higher numbers. I will not recommend any additional coreg dose for now. However, I will like you to measure the pulse and blood pressure and report to me as soon as possible and I Would evaluate and make recommendations based on that.
I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.
