Hr elevated to 130-185 after exercise for 1-3 hours? dr decreased atenolol to 12.5 bid. wake up at night with heart pounding. what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawl: You can have an elevated heart rate if the dose of a beta blocker ( atenolol ) is lowered too rapidly.You must tell your treating doctor of these episodes .Of course, it could be something else unrelated to your medicine, but your doctor can figure this out.
