Why does my arms keep going numb?

Cold, tingling, or numbness in the hands or feet are common side effects of atenolol, if you think its too uncomfortable, you could request the doc who prescribed the med to prescribe an alternate which would be more comfortable.

Take care, best wishes!

Dr. Siva Arunasalam, M.D., Medical Director of the High Desert Heart Institute in California did a clinical study on 35 of his patients with serious cardiovascular conditions or diseases related to poor cardiovascular health. Sounds like you would qualify as one of those patients. Dr. Siva gave these heart failure patients, some of which were on the donor list for a new heart, a high quality L-Arginine supplement. After 90 days on this supplement, some of these patients that were originally considered "no-option" patients because all that could medically be done for them had been exhausted, some of these patients were able to come OFF the donor list. Key findings: 39% decrease in Triglycerides; HDL ("good" cholesterol) had 18% increase in men / 34% increase in women; Fasting Blood Sugars 16% decrease; Vitamin D3 303% increase; Systolic Blood Pressure 13% Decrease; Diastolic Blood Pressure 17% decrease; Peripheral blood flow to the feet increased by 16%. Co-morbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease improved significantly!
