It may. What is the temporal correlation between the initiation of the atenolol and your fatigue?
can you be more specific with your description of your fatigue?
any beta blocker can cause fatigue. did you have fatigue before you started using it?
ask your doctor if it's safe to stop using it for a week , then you'll know...
