A member asked:

I was on atenolol for about 10 years and got off of it and now i have a lot less bowel movements, could this be related? it started about a week after

Beta blocker: It would be somewhat unusual to see what you describe related to beta blocker withdrawal. If it doesn't return to its usual pattern and if you don't feel well see your doctor to be evaluated.
