Atenolol 50mg this is makeing me tired,lightheaded
I had a heartattach Atenolol was given to me starting with 25mg & it was increased to 50mg. Other than Atenolol what can be given in its place. This is too much for me. It makes me dizzy,legs feel week,I have no energy and I want to sleep all the time. I don't like this feeling of leslessness. What can the Doctor give me in place of the Atenolol that will NOT make feel this way. Any suggestions? Thank you,
Among the most comon side effects found in patients taking atenolol are: dizziness, lightheadedness, excessive tiredness, cold hands and feet, upset stomach and diarrhea. Most people do not get these symptoms and the drug is quite safe for the treatment of hypertension.
There are other beta-blockers in the market such as Propranolol, Metoprolol, etc. However, only your attending doctor can determine which drug would be best to replace atenolol.
