COREG CR 80 mg is a beta-blocker, which is a class of drugs that has been proven to lower your blood pressure and used for heart failure.
Serious side effects would include severe hypotension, severe bradycardia (slow heartbeat) fluid overload, severe chest pains and palpitations, low blood sugar, probably Atrio-ventricular block and many others.

It's difficult to answer this as it is asked!
First is it being taken for hypertension, CHF, or Left Ventricular Dysfunction after an MI?
Then we must know if it was administered following the normal regimen of 20 mg CR X 7 days thence to 40 mg the same way and then to 80 mg, or was the dose started at 80 mg CR?
It's certain that if any strong side effects at 80 mg CR appear at all (aside from a possible sensitivity or allergic effect from the CoReg itself) it will be manifested as extremely slowed heart rate, or exagerated hypotension, or possibly an orthostatic effect. If diabetic, a hypoglycemic effect may be noted.
But all or most of this would have been nipped in the bud with the usually recommended regimen given earlier.
CoReg is very well tolerated when taken with food.
