Resting heart rate has been anywhere between 100-135. doctor prescribed atenolol 25mg. about how many point will that lower it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart rate: Everyone responds to beta blockade as fits their personal physiology. Some people might get a lot of slowing and others less or none. You will know pretty much the maximum slowing by 4-5 days on the 25mg a day of atenolol. If it isn't enough, the 25mg is a low dose.

Was taking 25mg Athenolol for HBP along with avapro 300mg. Started cutting my atenolol dose in half as my resting heart rate hovers around 59-60. The 25mg pills are hard to cut properly and so i sometimes take an uneven dose. Can this cause issues?
