Hi all. Although Ive been moderately well for over 18mnths, over the past 3 weeks, my PAF seems to have come back with avengence and Ive been struggling. Went to see GP today and to try to restore order, hes prescribed Carvedilol 3.125 mg as a gentle starting point. Ive has Bisoprolol and Verapamil in the past, neither of which were effective and both of which made me feel horrid and gain weight! Anyone had Carvedilol?? thanks

    It's just another beta blocker, supposed to be a newer one with fewer side-effects.

    Worth a try.
