Alternatives to Beta Blockers & ACE Inhibitors

I got sick a few years ago and it wekened my heart.  I take Coreg(Carvedilol) and Lisinopril.  I still want children very badly and was told that basically, there were meds that I can take instead of Lisinopril, but I would have to stop taking Coreg.  Of course, I would just have to see how I would do without Coreg... Are there any alternatives to Coreg?

Hi,
All beta blockers are known to result in some degree of erectile dysfunction in males & decreased libido in females. However, nebivolol is one beta blocker which has got vasodilatory properties & hence can be one of the alternatives of carvedilol. However, you can continue taking lisinopril. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Lisinopril can cause birth defects in the baby if you take the medication during pregnancy. Do not use lisinopril without telling your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy
