I recently have been looking to have some cosmetic surgery done and have been on atenolol for about a month for anxiety and sinus tachycardia (no major heart problems were found) I am 28 yrs, 134lbs, 5'6 ft.... I have had minor side effects such as:
shortness of breath but no longer have it
resting heart rate of 55-60
My question is has anyone had non-cardiac surgery or is surgery even safe while taking beta blockers.....I have read some really scary clinical trials lately over people being given beta blockers and dieing
