Beta blocker experts needed :)

Hey guys,
so long story short i have serious heart issues since beginning of May. I am wearing a lifevest since then and had a double catheter + heart biopsys done last week. The results are not there yet but i guess they will come next week.
My main issue is seriously decreased Ejection Fraction (around 20%), Left ventrical enlargement etc.
(the cause is either "non-compaction cardiomyopathy" or myocarditis, which the biopsys should reveal).

I was at 2 different hospitals (one for my first time when i couldnt breath properly and one for the double catheter last week) and also at a knowledgeable cardiologist.
Now my medication is
Entresto 1-0-1 (48/52mg tablet)
Torasemid (2-1-0) (5mg tablet)
Eplerenone 1-0-0 (25mg tablet)
and beta blocker.
For the beta blocker, i have 2 different opinions and now i am not sure which i should take
1.) Nebivolol starting dosage 2,5mg
2.) Carvedilol 2x 6,25mg starting dosage.

Right now i am on Nebivolol but i am wondering if carvedilol would be more effective in treatment?
thanks alot!

I take bystolic. Dont know much about it but just 5mg and it does wonder for my resting heart rate and blood pressure. And I take in the morning around 4am and go to work and still work out. Doesnt effect me in anyway. Or libido wise. Wish I could help more. Hope you heal up though brother. Hate to hear stuff like this

Yeah this is why i also prefered Nebivolol and why i havent switched yet.
I like it as a beta blocker but also because it has a host of other benefits and does not reduce excersise capacity at all according to studies.
Blood pressure is no issue though, at least not hyper. Due to all my medications i am around 105/60 right now and still have to increase the entresto and torasemid (and the beta blocker).
have to do it slowly, else low BP makes me completely non-functional
thanks for your wishes buddy

for those taking bystolic and who exercise are you able to get your heart rate up to target heart rate zone when doing cardio?

beta-blockers by design decrease ones heart rate. Some may not effect exercise capacity per se but it’s harder to get heart rate high when doing cardio. I guess depends on dose

I take labetalol which helps my bp better than bystolic did without negatively affecting my exercise capacity. Only issue I can’t get heart rate high when doing cardio. Doc said work on endurance and not so much worrying about heart rate

thanks guys, i wont give up, dont worry. Positive mindset here since negativity wont bring me anywhere but probably 3m deep into the ground.

Here can you learn a little bit about beta blockers, i would prefer nebivolol. I think carvedilol or whatever the name is gonna make you gain more weight then nebivolol.
