User Reviews for Atenolol to treat High Blood Pressure (Page 5)

“I have been taking Atenolol for more than three years. I work out daily and although I cannot get my heart rate up as high as the experts want me to, at least at 72 I can work out. Feel great!”

“I've been taking this medication for 2 years now and it has been wonderful since the day I started.”

Tenormin (atenolol): “I take a combo of Dyazide and Tenormin daily. Have been doing so for more than 30 years (80 now). I find thiis combo works very well for me. I have always had a high pulse rate and a high diastolic pressure. They have been excellently regulated with this combo.”

Tenormin (atenolol): “Very effective. I would feel pleasant within 15 - 20 minutes of taking one tablet of Tenormin. No side effects felt.”

“I was taking atenolol for almost 2 years and the only thing I noticed was the inability to push my cardio workouts too far. I switched to Coreg CR and I felt cloudy, and felt like a rubber band was around my chest. I am trying Bystolic now. First thing I notice is that my arms fall asleep at night when they are bent on my chest. I will most likely switch back to atenolol in a few days if I still have side effects. Besides the wall I was hitting when being agressive with cardio-exercise, atenolol 25mg made me feel very calm.”

“I did develop a pain on the inside of my ankle on the left side with this medication. When switched to metoprolol, the pain disappeared and reappeared when I went back on Atenelol. Nevertheless, it has slowed down my heart rate (I have sinus tachacardia) by around 15 bpm and I enjoy better blood pressure control on this medicine.”

“I have been taking a daily dose of 25 mg Atenolol for two years. It has worked well in lowering my blood pressure. I have not noticed any side effects.”

“This medication has been very effective in treating my hypertension without all the side effects I have had with other hypertension medications. ”

“I have been taking it for several years and has worked pretty well to keep blood pressure down to below 140/70. Just recently my blood pressure has gone up to average 150/80 so will also be taking a diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide.”
