Brief Answer:
What is the heart rate now?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this increased heart rate. I will suggest that you tell me what the value is at this time and what the value is in the early mornings. This way, I will determine whether we need to adjust the dosage or dosing frequency of the medications you are currently on. What is the regular dosage of carvedilol that you are on?

I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience and do promise to get back to you as soon as I hear back from you.
