Can atenolol cause dizziness and an off balance type of feeling 50mg?

Sure: Any blood pressure medication can cause dizziness. If you are having noticeable problems with light-headedness when standing or at other times, you should let your doctor know and think about a dose adjustment or alternative medication.

Possibly: Atenolol, a beta blocker, slows the heart and lowers blood pressure. While formerly considered a number one choice for treating high blood pressure, it is now not recommended as a first choice. It often makes people tired, and if it drops pulse or BP too much, can cause dizziness. Those symptoms could also be unrelated and due to inner ear disorder.
