Hypertension - I'm a 43 year old female who just started taking Atenolol 5 days ago and this morning I woke up real dizzy and lightheaded and just feeling really tired. Is this normal and will it go away? Just looking to see if others have had the same problems and if they went away. I am taking it for high blood pressure

Hi,
Those are some of the side effects I went through when I first started Atenolol a few years ago. It does take a while for your body to get used to it, so far the only side effect I still have is cool fingers and feet.
If the side effects really start to bother you then make sure and check with you Dr.
