Taking atenolol (25mg, 2x daily) for 10y for svt. pcp said could stop if desired. completely off for 5d, how long can i expect to feel hard heartbeat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atenolol: Unfortunately beta blockers cause your pulse rate to drop and when you stop taking them the pulse rate increases and may even cause some chest discomfort but should shortly settle down
