Atenolol is a beta blocker. They make raynauds worse. I suspect you had raynauds but not very bad and the atenolol made it worse. The doctor needs to change you to a calcium channel blocker for your bp and it will help your raynauds too.

I have called my Dr. this morning. He didn't know about the Raynauds, nor did I, when this medication was prescribed. I am hopeful that when I come off my Raynauds gets a lot better. Thank you for your response.

That fits with it being just a mild case, until you had the pill. Do you have fibromyalgia? Raynaud's phenomenon likes to come along with it sometimes. The calcium chanel blocker is what would be used to treat the raynaud's also.
