Coreg-wheezing And Dizziness
UpdatedDeveloped bronchitis, breathing problems on mild exertion, excess musous. Had several courses of antibiotics, chest xrays to check for pneumonia. Finally referred to a pulmonary specialist and put on an inhaler for "wheezing" and maybe asthma. He wants to do a CAT scam now. My daughter researched and thinks it may be the Coreg. My GP switched me to another drug and within less than two days I noticed by balance and dizziness has improved.

Hi, Leon! Sorry about the medical issues you're having.
And yes, it very well could have been due to the Coreg, it contains the active ingredient Carvedilol and it has been known to cause some problematic side effects in some people that take it. I was on it for awhile and it caused very bad Raynaud's and made me miserable.
It works as both and alpha and beta blocker and some people's bodies just can't handle it.
If the issues were caused by the medication, they should continue to improve, the longer you are off of it.
Can you post back and let me know how you're doing?
After being on it for over a year, it took about a month for my Raynaud's to improve.
Unfortunately I'm still on a machine twice a day to carry medicine to my lungs and still have some shortness of breath. I'm in my 80s and was put on the Coreg for high blood pressure, which I later found out is not the first line drug of choice for HP. It appears to be a bad choice of drug for older folks.
