1 | High Blood Pressure | Stomach Problems, Dizziness, Lack Of Motivation, Lethargy, Memory Loss, Slow Pulse (52) | It is terrible, because of the side-effects & should be taken off of the market. | M | 34 | 8 months | 12/31/2004 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Dizzyness at 100 MGS, Don't feel like doing anything, makes me feel 100 even though I am only 34. Messes up my sleep patterns. Makes my G/F miserable. | This drug should not be prescribed for only high blood pressure. It has ruined my lifestyle | M | 34 | 8 months | 12/30/2004 | 5 | hypertension | This medicine was excellent-120/80-no side effects/ even having asthma,but doctor took me off after 10 yrs. and nothing works | F | 55 | | 12/1/2004 | 3 | high blood pressure | constipation, slight depression | 25 mg reduced bp, but increase to 50 mg caused worse constipation. Moving on to something else. | M | 47 | 2 years | 11/11/2004 | 4 | LABOURED BREATHING | F | 80 | 1 days | 10/26/2004 | 3 | tachycardia/ | nausea,heart thumping harder,dizziness, possible kidney problems | I don't know if this was related to Atenolol for sure or not, but during the time I was taking my 25 mg. dose, I developed severe kidney pain and pelvic pain which lead to a swelling of the kidneys called hydronephrosis. I never experienced anything like this prior to the drug. I also noticed a thumping feeling in my heart, as if the heart beats were slower but too hard in my chest. | F | 31 | 30 days | 10/26/2004 | 5 | high blood pressure | diahera and quezzy stomach | F | 68 | 2 weeks | 10/20/2004 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Stomach Problems, Depression, Inability to focus, Lethargy | M | 34 | 6 months | 10/14/2004 | 4 | high blood pressure/pvcs | tiredness,weak,dizzy when standing up | atenolol really helped my pvcs and lowered my blood pressure almost immediately.this drug really has saved my life,i was desperate to find something to relieve the anxiety from the pvcs and this has really worked!! | F | 40 | 1 months | 10/6/2004 | 5 | High Blood Pressure 156/128 | I have been more tired since starting the drug, and my legs seem to get very tired with activity. I can't run without my calves burning w/ pain. I'm working through it though, and am not convinced these are side affects of the Atenolol. (They continued when stopping the drug for 4 weeks.) Overall, it's saved my life by maintaing my blood pressure. | I was 28 years old, 128lbs at 5' 6 | F | 32 | 4 years | 9/19/2004 | 4 | no affects | no | F | 60 | 3 days | 8/22/2004 | 3 | high blood pressure | tired and dizzy a bit confussed at times | F | 48 | 2 years | 7/25/2004 | 2 | high blood pressure | None initally but after three years there was progressively worse joint pain and tiredness. The problems were not attributed to atenolol initiatly, but after trying a different blood pressure drug for a week almost all of the problems have dissapeared. | M | 41 | 5 years | 7/18/2004 | 4 | angina, hypertension | Reduced libido, fatigue. | It does get the job done. It greatly reduced my chest pain when I first started taking it (no pain now). 100 mg tablet + a diuretic have kept my blood preasure down for a decade. | M | 42 | 10 years | 1/11/2004 | 5 | high blood pressure | none | Lowers my blood pressure and also makes me not nervous in tense situations! That's a plus (no nervous shaking). This med is OK by me. | F | 55 | 2 years | 12/27/2003 | 4 | severe migraines | Moodiness,fatigue,mild depression,some insomnia. | This drug has been a miracle in terms of ending the torture of migraines. I take only half a pill before bedtime(25mg). This drug must be pretty damn powerful to have some of the neurological effects it's had on me at such a low dosage. But I'll take these side effects anyday compared to a migraine. | F | 32 | 3 months | 12/23/2003 | 4 | slow heart rate | Some shivering at times especially in cold months. | M | 69 | | 12/15/2003 | 3 | high blood pressure | tiredness, dizziness | M | 40 | 20 days | 7/3/2003 | 1 | Blood Pressure | VERY DIZZY AND FEEL LIKE FAINTING. HEART SKIPPING. THE DIZZY COMES AND GOES. | MY DOCTOR TOOK ME OFF ATENOLOL AND GAVE ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW (NO MORE DIZZY) | M | 67 | 30 days | 3/6/2003 | 3 | High heart rate | fatigue | F | 27 | 1 days | 2/17/2003 |
