that medicine is best which controls BP without much side effects. Atenolol has been used for nearly 50 years with excellent safety in younger ages like your mother. If BP is uncontrolled there are other good options which can be discussed if needed. Best wishes

I am 43 year old male. I am a non- smoker, non-drinker and pure vegetarian. When I was 29 years old I had vertebra basilar ischemic stroke and after that I became 95% normal. I can drive bike, car etc. I can do almost all activities like before with ease but while doing some activities like running etc. I couldn't do lke before. Ok.recently, I noticed I had bp in the range of 200/140 and tested for diabetic ie. My fasting blood sugar was 111 and my pp was 121. Probably,i may be in the verge of getting diabetes. My triglycerides (269) and vldl (53) levels are high. My physician has suggested me to take lipaglyn 4 mg along with atorvastatin, aspirin,olmesartan medoxomil -20 mg& chlorthalidone tbs ,amlodipine & atenolol tabs. I have started taking it. Now,i have been doing 30 minutes of fast walking daily and of course my diet pure veg with dosa, idly without white chutney but with curd and afternoon rice in medium quantities. I am feeling tiered and unable to concentrate on any work. My weight is 92 .i ama teetotaller and non-smoke, non-tobacco user. My weakness is eating lot of sweets but ,i stopped all before 3 months. Please advise me to reduce my dependency on medicines. I want to take just one tablet in morning and 1 at night. When can I achieve this?

You are taking so many medicines. What do you want to achieve.
Your weight is 92 kg but you have not mentioned your height. If you are overweight reduce the weight. Exercise regularly. Discuss with your treating physician who will help you in reducing your medicines, because he knows your clinical profile.

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Hi curiosity is fine, but if you try googling each and every medication you will find something which your mind wants to find. What is best for you your doctors know better than you as the beta blockers which you have mentioned you have just googled them and have no idea regarding their efficacy potency or mortality benefit. You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more

If you are asymptomatic than stop medication and measure the bp value for three days in morning and evening and revert with finding.

Atenolol is not a drug for Anxiety. Its Propranolol that is useful for the physical components of anxiety reponses (trembling, quivering of voice etc). Ability to act on Beta 2 receptors gives it the above utility, while atenolol is only active on B1 receptiors. Moreover, Atenolol does not cross blood brain barrier so I do not see the merit of it here.
As for Sudden Withdrawal of Medication- Yes, typically B Blockers like Atenolol etc are not to be stopped abruptly. They can lead to increase...more

It is not advisable to take any medicines without the doctor's prescription. Kindly talk to the doctor and discuss about your concerns and let the doctor assess your health by examining you. Please read about sexual health and common problems and how it can be enhanced with a disciplined and healthy lifestyle.

Atenolol is an old content with many side effects. Starpress (metoprolol) is a new improved conntent with less side effects compare to atenolol.
Better take homoeopathic treatment. It may even help to stop all the medicines.
