I was put on Carvedilol about 3 months ago to try to increase my heart rate and for the chest pains so far it has not helped any of these... If anyone has any suggestion they would be greatly apprecated.

Answer/Reply:

Find a new Cardiologist!!! You are still too young to give up living an active life. If you live near a teaching hospital or can get to a well known cardiac care hospital, get a second opinion and your meds checked. If needed, just have the big Cardiologist work up a new plan and recommend a new Cardiologist in your area. Don't settle for mediocre medicine.
Good luck and God bless.
