Is It Safe To Take Carvedilol 6 For Slight Thickening Of Heart Valve?
I have slight thickening of the heart wall/muscle. It is my understanding that my heart is spasming and causing spikes in blood presvsure. My blood pressure has never given me problems until recently. I was placed on Carvedilol 6,25 mgs twice daily. I have had shortness of breath upon exertion, fatigue, and a spastic feeling in my stomach, as well as some chest pain. My question is, "can this be reversed," with the medication or with exercise, or will I have to remain on the Beta Blocker?
Thanks

Hello there
I see your concern and would like to help you in the best possible way with my advise.
Carvedilol is one of my favorite drugs which I use for rate control and as a substitute for digoxin in cardiomyopathy.Hope your symptoms have been relieved with its use. your heart condition cannot be reversed but only controlled with this drug along with few others
You will have to remain on the beta blocker I'm afraid
Hope that was useful for you
