I read your query and I understand your concern.
Carvedilol is used to slow down heart rate and at that value I think and extra half tablet can be safely added. However if persistent I think that you should be checked by a doctor and have an EKG for your type of abnormal rhythm because further intervention might be needed to control it.
I hope things work out for the best.
