Your BP is way to high especially your bottom #.  Why don't you take the atenolol and see if you have any side effects, lots of people take it and have no side effects.  Give it a try, you can always stop if side effects.  The side effects of untreated high BP are much more serious and severe.

Sudafed is a no, no for people with high BP why don't you take "Coricidin HB" that is a OC decongestant for people with high BP.

Your BP might even go down once you stop the sudafed.  If your MD advised you stop it then you should.
