User Reviews for atenolol oral

This medicine caused my father in laws death. He took the medicine for 6 days. He had shortness of breathe after 3 days. He was very tired and weak. He had a fast heart rate that this medicine dropped quickly. The dr that prescribed it took him off it the day before he died. He should have never been given this medicine he had COPD was on 24 hour oxygen and various other medicines. He had just received a clean bill of health from his main dr. PLEASE don't let your loved ones take this medicine and if they do watch them for any side affects and take them immediately to ER If they display any. Don't wait.Read More Read Less

Seems to be working well for my high blood pressure with no side effects.

I am 59 years old and have never been allergic to any medication. I began taking this medication for High Blood Pressure. I had a severe reaction! Sores all over my body, including my face. No rash, etc. Just full blown sores appeared. Had to be taken off of this medication. Still dealing with sores and scaring but no new sores appearing.

I have been on this drug for almost a month now. This regulated my bp but on my second week of use, I have had shortness of breath. I gaspsed for air as a reclined for bed at nights. My chest feels full frequently so much so that I cough just to get the release. I continue to have heart palpitations and ache on my left shoulder/back. My Dr has prescribed a new medication and hopefully it would work better.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS MEDICATION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS.

fatigue,sometimes very low BP. No energy at all, sleepy and shortness of breath. Some anxiety and not feeling yourself.

Once I began taking Atenolol, I had several more SVT attacks. I also could NOT breathe, my body felt so heavy, like I was carrying a piano around all day. Finally figured out the drug was actually CAUSING more attacks, so I began weaning off. It was hard to get off this drug, but once I did, I had NO MORE attacks. This is a nasty drug which I will never take again! My two doctors said it was great, NOT true!

I started using Atenolol due to my blood pressure it is very effective but it restricts your heart pulse and short breathing but it is very cheap pricing.

My husband has been on Atenolol 50 mg ever since he had bypass surgery..which is almost 7 years. It pretty much ended his life as he had no energy and would fall asleep all the time. His Dr recently took him off of it and he now seems to have 'perked up a bit. He is also on other blood pressure med so not sure why he was on Atenolol too. His heart rate was down to just 50/bpm at his last check up and that was after being off the Atenolol for 2 weeks.

this med sucks, it made me really nauseas, and dizzy.

Very easy to use and to lose, I have high blood pressure that is difficult to manage. Presently it is between 120 and 140 most of the time, running on the average 124-135.

I started Atenolol a little over a month ago. Taking 25mg at night. i have insomnia at night and during the day I fall asleep very easily. Heart flutters once in a while. Other than that may Bp is perfect. Was on lisinopril before this and hated it.

I was first placed on 50mg of Atenolol which caused me to develop a whole bunch of unpleasant symptoms. I had diahorhea, very slight chest pain at first, wrestless nights and restless leg syndrome (which I've never had in my life. I asked my physician if I could reduce my BP medication to 25mg, down from 50mg and it worked! All of my symptoms disappeared yet my blood pressure was still in check. So, if you are having any trouble with this medication, try to get 25mg tabs instead. You'll be happy you did.Read More Read Less

This drug replaced my metoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide. Been on it for 3 months and feel no side effects, and has replaced taking 3 pills a day with just 1/2 of one.

I was on this drug for many years, pretty sure it was responsible for giving me gynaecomastia. Oh what fun.

my blood pressure is better, however, I have noticed a considerable amount of hair loss and dry mouth

First prescribed Lisinoprill that caused dry mouth and cough, to replace Lisinoprill was prescribed Atenlol and in Dec '13 (3rd month of taking meds) awakened with numbness and pain in upper arms and shoulders and now have pain in shoulder joints, wrists and hands. Blood tests do not show R.A. and x-rays and MRIs show slight arthritis, but should not cause so much pain. Do not know if this is caused by medication or sudden onset arthritis. Am not taking any other medication.

heart rate went from 158 relaxed to 70 relaxed

Rapid Short term memory loss.
