You may want to take your 2nd daily dose of Carvedilol in the mid-afternoon, like around 3 or 4 PM, instead of waiting till 7 pm. The morning dose is starting to wear off by the time you notice your BP rising, so I would suggest trying the 2nd dose earlier.

Good luck. Keep us posted with what happens.
