"My heart rate was speeding up to the point I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. It was more a problem at night when I would try to go to sleep. The heart was pounding, and a wave of pressure in my ears was keeping me from sleeping. I started medicine 3.125 mg twice daily, and the problem was in good control within one week. I have a blockage on the left side, 30 to 40%. No problems since I started the medicine. Blood pressure is in real good control. I continue EKG every 6 months."

"My LVEF was about 20 when I started on Coreg following a massive heart attack. I have used Coreg since it first came on the market. I take 100 mg daily with no side effects. My LVEF is now between 30 and 35. My heart attack was 21 years ago. Coreg has been a 'silver bullet' for me."

"I am 91 and have congestive heart failure. (I also fell and broke the femur articulation with my hip in late March). My doctor gave me this medicine, Coreg, and it took away the swelling in my feet, ankles, legs, and knees. I was having such pain in my knees, and the drug, along with other medicines I take, has gotten the fluid out of my system, and my knees no longer ache. This medicine has really improved my life."
