Does Atenolol Intake Cause Leg Pains?
Question: Was looking to switch my Atenolol to morning. Also can it cause leg pains?
Brief Answer:
Atenolol
Detailed Answer:
Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
It doesn't matter if you take atenolol in the morning or night.
Leg pain is unlikely to be caused by Atenolol; however it is necessary to consider in two situations:
1. In patients with Myasthenia Gravis or other neuromuscular disease, intake of atenolol cause increased leg pain.
2. In patients with Leg Arteries Problems (blockage or narrowing),intake of atenolol cause increased leg pain.
Other symptoms of these patients are coldness of legs, tingling in legs, pale legs and difficulty in walking (they have to stop every 100 meters pain). Leg Arteries Problems are common in people
with cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity).
Do you have this pathology or these risk factors?
I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.
I wish you good health.
