A member asked:

I take 12.5mg of atenolol for anxiety. if i take naproxen 375mg for back pain will it raise my heart rate and bp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Naproxen is an NSAID which exerts is benefits by reducing the amount of inflammatory mediators in your body. Taking this medication over long periods of time can cause a gradual increase in blood pressure. It should not interfere with atenolol.
