Hello, No need to worry about it if you are not having symptoms due to it like giddiness fainting or syncope, shortness of breath etc. It's due to carvedilol which you are receiving, so ask your doctor to reduce to dose to half of what you are having. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
