A member asked:
Is 25mg of atenolol daily on a split dose strong enough for racing heart due to anxiety 95-110bpm..i feel like i need a little more.

Light dose: That is a very light dose, as the usual adult dose is 50-100 mg. If you are still having tachycardia, talk to your prescribing provider about gradually trying a higher dose. Your blood pressure and heart rate will need to be monitored with any dose change.
