Yes AtenololAtenolol Atenolol-chlorthalidone is a beta blocker, funny thing I have a book and it lists Atenolol as a social phobia drug. Well tomorrow I am seeing the Cardiologist to put me off this drug or give me something else. Another side effect I am having is mild chest pain.
Current BP:
120/78 - Pulse 57
I have a feeling its the Beta Blocker keeping my Diasolic rate high.
Man in just 3 months I can't belive how my life has changed. I wish I can be normal and go back in time.
My family doctor put me on Diovan 80mgs and my Cardiologist put me on Atenolol 50mgs for my high blood pressure and extra heart beats.
All my tests came out excellent but after the 48 hour holter the cardiologist said I had a lot of extra beats.
The thing that really is confusing me is when I wore the holter I was not on HP medication, and once I started the medication I stopped having extra beats. So the Cardiologist put me on HP medication with the holter results.
I was fine yesterday, and when I took the Atenolol at night I started to have weird thoughts and I could feel my heart beat in my head.

I definitely understand not wanting to deal with the side effects of the BB. Why was it prescribed?
