Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Shortness of breath and problems with orgasms can occur while on carvedilol. However, other conditions including cardiac issues and hypothyroidism need to be ruled out.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider to get EKG and thyroid function test done.
You can also discuss with your doctor regarding switching to another antihypertensive like calcium channel blocker.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
