HEART DISEASE COMMUNITY

Hello,
I have a question regard to the medication call Atenlol. I am 32 yeasr old female, and have several people who's got high blood pressure in my family (all Asian).
I was diagnosed as High blood pressure couple weeks ago.
I had my nose bleeding for couple of days after my dental surgery the other day. Right before the oral surgeon put me on to sleep, he said my blood pressure was very high, and asked me if I am taking any medication for this. The surgeon ignored my high blood pressure since I never had high blood pressure in my life, and thought probably because I was nervous. (it was 178/148 that day)
For 4 days after the surgery, my nose bleed in the morning everyday. I thought it was caused from my dental surgery so I went to see my family doctor. My doctor thought that nose bleed is nothing to do with neither my dental surgery nor my high blood pressure.
She thought the high blood pressure was caused by my anti-depression

Your doing a good thing by getting in touch with a doctor.  It can be tough to regulate hypertension.

Good luck.

Atenelol is a beta blocker and does the opposite of what a brochodilator does. Therefore, if you have asthma, beta blockers are a big no no. I would see your doctor for alternatives.

Thank you so much for the comment!
Yes I thought it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion this time.
It is scary to know that Atenolol was no good for asthma. I also know I am not supposed to quit immediately so I will talk to the doctor tomorrow. Thank you so much again.
