I've been on this and that script for many years including a stint on A-TEN-OH-lol (bb) and Lis-in-o-pril (ace).
These were prescribed by my GP, I was a zombie, I asked to go off but to no avail... I switched to an Internal Medicine doc because of that!
It took many weeks to wean off the Atenolol, but after I switched scripts I felt a hell of a lot better!
I think there's a class action suit concerning A-ten... and heart issues... I'd have to look it up...
I'm on Di-OH-van (ar) and Norv-ask (ccb) now and feel pretty good.
My normal BP runs 128/84-132/88 and I'm good with that.
Fyi, I went from an arm cuff to a wrist cuff for self testing, at my Doc's I always ask for their biggest arm cuff as I tend to run on the higher side on their machine...
Just a thought...
Sorry for the weird spellings, I have less than 25 posts so the built in spam software kicked in
