Hi,
Yes the bradycardia you are experiencing may be related with the effect of beta blockers (carvedilol).
However if you tolerate well this (no fatigue, faint ect.) than you can continue with this dose of carvedilol.
Otherwise you should decrease the dose of carvedilol to 6.25mg twice daily.
Hope I answered to your query?
