Question 1

1)as my age is 21 year my bp is 145/80 using atenolol 25 mg for 6 months
2)now dr prescribed me nebivolol 2.5 it works perfectly bp is in 120/70
3)which beta-blocker have safest for my age group nebivolol, bisoprolol, atenolol etc.

Accepted Answer

Beta blockers: I'm not a fan of using beta blockers as first line treatment of hypertension unless the patient tends to have a fast resting heart rate or has coronary artery disease. However, since you're doing well on nebivolol and not having the side effect of fatigue, I think it's very effective for you and shouldn't prevent your heart rate from increasing appropriately during exercise unlike other beta block

Question 2

can i take bisoprolol instead of atenolol for low heart rate and hypertension, my heart rate is 55 on atenolol 100, i am obese 150 kilos?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: Your heart rate is a bit low and you need to see your doctor or speak to her/him by phone for advice.

150 kilos are very high for anyone, particularly someone your age. Ask your doctor to refer you to a dietitian. You do need to lose weight but not rapidly - Half a pound or one pound weight loss a week is the safest for you.

Question 3

what is tenormin (atenolol) used for?

Accepted Answer

Tenormin (atenolol): "Tenormin (atenolol) is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). Tenormin (atenolol) is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used to treat or prevent heart attack." See:  http://www.drugs.com/tenormin.html

Question 4

please describe the medication: atenolol?

Accepted Answer

Beta-blocker: Atenolol is a relatively long-acting (24 hours) beta-blocker.  Beta-blockers as a group of medications calm or slow the heart rate down.  They stop the swings in hr from stress or nerves.  If someone is on a good dose of a beta-blocker and are startled, the medication suppresses the pounding of your heart. It also won't allow the hr to climb with exercise.  It's used to slow or control tachycardia.

Question 5

is atenolol ototoxic?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: In clinical trials, very rare side effect, at about 0.007%.

Question 6

what happens if i missed a dose of atenolol?

Accepted Answer

Likely: Nothing.  May see an increase in hr & BP transient lay until next dose.

Question 7

does atenolol cause svt?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Generally, Atenolol suppresses SVT.  In rare cases, it can affect your heart to make some types of SVT worse.  Also, it can rarely speed up the heart rate, by slowing down certain parts of the hearts electrical system more than others.  Lastly, withdrawal from atenolol can make SVT worse, so don't stop the medication too abruptly.  See a heart rhythm specialist for treatment options and evaluation

Question 8

citalopram and atenolol

Accepted Answer

Question?: Citalopram is an anti-depressant (in the ssri- selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor family) and atenolol is a blood pressure medicine (beta blocker). They can be taken together in moderate doses safely.

Question 9

does atenolol cause insomnia?

Accepted Answer

NO: Noy a reported side effect of this medication.

Question 10

does atenolol cause depression?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Atenolol can cause a possible side effect of depression. This may be more likely if you also have a known history of depression. It is important to talk to your provider before considering stopping this medication.
