User Reviews for Tenormin oral

used this drug for almost 5 years,made me tired with very low bp and heart rate until i discovered eating at least one banana during or after breakfast before i take 1/2 atenolol really helps.probably because banana contains potassium which is one of the useful nutrients to fight fatigue. i take the other 1/2 of the 25mg after dinner.tenormin works great for my anxiety too. one mile walk will help with weight gain.

Well this is effective, and easy to use as i take 50mg once in the morning ! Did well in controlling my heart rate but messed up my sex life, as it badly effects the erection process, and loses strength soon after just a few minutes.

It works for the BP but I have developed OAB and blue toes on one foot. Can this be from the Atenolol. I did not have this when taking Inderol.

I have been taking atenolol 100 mg/day for 10 years. It has done a great job of controlling my HBP, but I have long suspected it of some unpleasant side effects. Recently I have tapered off and trying to discontinue it totally, my doctor has switched me to lisinopril 40 mg/day. The very first day I cut my dose in half I noticed my acid reflux was much better. I have had bad reflux for several years and the last two days I have taken nothing at all for acid. I have coughed from acid for years before finding out the cause, now I know the cause of the acid. I also have long suspected sexual side effects from atenolol, but time will tell if that is verified. My sex life has become nothing for the last several years. That has caused great frustration and depression in itself. This medicine does a great job lowering blood pressure, but be very cautious and attentive if using it. It can cause lots of unwanted problems too.Read More Read Less

Has worked good over past 3 years, but now blood pressure is fluctuating from high 184/88 to low 105/56 Don't understand why? Would increasing doseage help>

BP has been normal for the 1st time in many years.

BROUGHT MY BLOOD PRESSURE DOWN VERY WELL, BUT CAUSED SHORTNESS OF BREATH VERY BAD.

Together with this medication and exercise, blood pressure has remained within apprapriate age range.

29yr old female diagnosed with Afib RVR. on 50mg tenormin twice daily. I still have breakthrough episodes of afib and am waiting to see an EP doctor. I feel like my bp is low and get dizzy frequently. If I dont take it I have a fast heart rate. I can't seem to find a balance. I am otherwise super healthy. My doc thinks when I took a relpax for a migraine that is what set all this off. I am at a loss.

I've been on it for about a month and still have times when my blood pressure gets high.

only on 50 mg 90 days preusre not under control went up to 100 mg 30 days still not under control but lower. on 4 other meds did not work well.

Been taking this med for about a year for high heart rate (24 hour average was 85). Has slowed heart rate a little but I believe it has also mede me tired all the time. I also take meds for high blood pressure so it could be a combo of all meds. Gained about 10 lbs. All told, heart rate is down and I don't feel heavy pounding in my chest.

I have been on Lisinipril 40mg and HCT 25mg. B/P still is up and down so doctor added Atenolol 25 mg three weeks ago to the mix. Have to discontinue it due to leg pain. Its disheartening that using B/p medications is a trade off in problems due to the side affects. Still looking for a good combination that doesn't cause pain, coughing, larthargy etc.

Taking this med for high BP and prevention of atrial fib. Works well. At dosage of 25mg per day, found that heart rate did not respond to demands of exertion. I cut dosage to 12.5mg in morning and evening. Now, heart rate responds normally. I suspect it has contributed to my erectile disfunction.

Able to reduce hctz by 50%, pulse reduced from 70 to 50 b/min. using only 1/4 of 25mg tablet/day--sitting bp typically 105/75--have had strange dreams, difficulty in getting my heart rate above 90b/m when exercising, some signs of poor circulation--cold hands and feet with occasional tingling in the hands(occurs while sleeping--awake with pulse of 40-45), no weight gain so far, no problem with erection but three times as long to ejaculation! I prefer to take in morning. Also taking 20mg of Lipitor. I am not convinced I need this medication but feel it is tollerable.Read More Read Less

I have been on this med for 10 years and, like others, have experienced slight weight gain...but that is a small price to pay for good bp. My kids call it my "chill pill". I feel better & the bp is under control.
