I'm 21 years old and just started Atenolol 2 days ago (25mg). I've always had issues with white coat syndrome and I'm generally an anxious person. I've been sent for a boat load of tests including EKGs etc. Everything has come back good with one exception being that my Adrenaline levels are slightly elevated (surprise surprise given I have anxiety). Like I said I started 2 days ago and have seen drastic improvements both physically and mentally. I no longer get that gut feeling of being anxious and my heart rate has been more normal as its not responding to the adrenaline in my system. My BP would normally be anywhere between 150-160/80-90 at the doctors with heart rate at 130-140 and at home as I always felt very nervous to take my BP at home because I feared it would be high. Now taking 1x 25mg tablet a day my BP has been around 125-135/60-75 and heart rate 70.
Experiencing the exact same thing
Sounds good did gain weight ? Or any testosterone dropped? I’m jut started today
Blake did you have tingling on your food ?
@@jonjon9237 No I can't say I did
What’s about testosterone and sexual activity? Did it decreased ?
Wow I've learned so much that i wasn't aware of👏
Very nice presentation..

Thanks Dr Josh Losartans my HBP med now n Atenolol 25mg if I need a 2nd or Amlodapine 10mg I appreciate u making clear the side effects n u cover everything from NSAIDS n Malivitamins very useful information thx for ur good efforts already subscr.
I’ve been taking Atenolol for almost 2 weeks. The label is told to measure & not to take with bps under 110. I’ve never missed a dose. Tonight, I’ve measured 3x & all in low 100s. What can I expect if I skip dosage?
Watching your videos about the drugs I take helps me understand why I must take my medications. Hopefully you will cover all my medications. Could you please cover medications for high cholesterol? Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I seem to get very tired after taking Atenolol every mornIng. After a 25mg dose. I’m not over the fatigue til I’d afternoon
Just started taking this med yesterday, thank you for explaining! You answered all my questions.
Its now 3 months...How's your body responding ?
I was just prescribed this 25mg... I will start tonite
@@robbyrocks3665 how is it
@@nownotlater2670 Believe it or not, I have my first perscription, but never actually started it yet.
I'm still having a hard time understanding why he perscribed this to me, when my blood pressure has always been normal....I know it protects your Heart, but I'm afraid it might put me into the low blood pressure zone.
Basically, I'm afraid of new meds.
I haven't let my cardiologist know i haven't started yet, or am considering not taking it all.
I know it sounds irresponsible on my behalf....I'm thinking of possibly talking to him about a natural approach
@@robbyrocks3665 have you taken it yet
@@nownotlater2670 No... I decided to not take it.
Like i stated earlier, I never had a BP issue.
This was prescribed from a new cardiologist office i go to.
I never really got a clear answer as to why he prescribed this to me from the start
If you take 2 would it do any damage
After a heart attack, my husband was on this for several years. He developed a breathing issue that he dealt with for several more years. We learned that long term use of this med can cause loss of lung function. To my understanding, it stops the cilia in the lungs from working. It takes years to recover from it even after going off the Tenormin/atenolol, and you can have a re-occurrence months and even years later.
Testosterone or sexual activity was impacted?
Any weight problems on atenolol? or weight Gain??
Use for what
can I ask, can I still take atenolol because I stopped it for about 4 weeks, isn't it bad to take it again?
You ask doctor atenolol 50 stoped
I was taking metoprolol for about 7 months, 12.5 mg in the morning and 12.5 at night as needed for POTS. It worked well enough, but i started to look into atenolol, and read that the sleep issues associated with other beta blockers weren't present in atenolol. Also, instead of taking metoprolol twice a day, i'd only have to take the atenolol once a day. Are there any other differences in how these meds work? Does one work better for tachycardia than the other?
Is it best to take this medication at night or in the morning?
I took this medication at 50mg by mistake!! Think I took like 3 to 4 1st day & had horrible day with asthma!! Then not knowing what triggered my asthma the next morning I woke up feeling better but still mild asthma!! I proceeded to take 2 at single dose. Then all of sudden I had server asthma attacks that lasted all day!! I immediately know this was the medication so I stopped use!! Now yesterday I was super duper drowsy & struggling with asthma!! Today not drowsy but still having mild asthma & getting short of breath easily which never happened to me before this medication!! So this gonna clear my system soon?? I'm hoping as I do not have health insurance!! Please tell me this will get better when out my system & how much longer??
Same happened to me at 25Mg, I noticed the medication still works at 12.5 MG without working my asthma up. I ended up in the ER yesterday due to this and thinking it was covid, but today i am fine at home watching youtube. but maybe try 12.5 mg and see how you feel? I am not a doctor and not recommending u take my advice. I am Prescribed 50 MG twice a day, i would die if i took that dose.
I was prescribed atenolol for angina, palpitation and bp of 130/100. But I have chest pains and back pains whenever I take the meds. The dosage was reduced to 25g from 50g but I still have these pains.
For me also chest pain. What did u do for that
@@balu9618 I stopped using it. My body was rejecting it. Why were u prescribed atenolol?
@@bukayomi1 I was prescribed for high bp
@@bukayomi1 after stopping it what is the medicine u r using now?
@@balu9618 I didn't use any medicine after stopping it. I was using it for palpitation and angina, which caused high bp. I later discovered that I had h pylori infection in my tummy which I treated and the side effects were the high bp, palpitations and chest pain.
If atenolol is causing you chest pain and not helping with the bp, go back to the doctor for a review and change of medicine.
Stomach ulcers/gastritis and anxiety caused my symptoms. Atenolol wasnt for me. I took magnesium tablets which help me. I also changed my diet, stopped sugar and reduced carbs. Took some herbs like garlic, ginger, turmeric with lemons. And mostly importantly looked to God for divine healing. It's been over a year and my bp is back to normal with no bp drugs.
This drug made me gain 8 kgs in a month
Hair loss
Body aches
Swollen ankles
Breathing probs
Did you eat healthy?
Hello there… what was the ideal substitute for you? Were you taking other medications.
...
Retaining water you mean urinating as you do
Atenolol caused me to go to the ER -it gave me shortness of breath 3 days in a row now at 25MG. i noticed it doesn't do that at 12.5 tho.
It gave me a panic attack, chest pain, nightmares, pin and needle feeling in my arms horrible medication for me.
@@RJ-ph9ci yes for me too.. did u stop using this medicine
@@balu9618 yes I did, my doctor kept telling me it shouldn’t give you anxiety. He wasn’t receptive I know what feel.
@@RJ-ph9ci was that for blood pressure??
@@balu9618 yes
Worst medication .can cause heart block
