Hello
Welcome to HCM
Atenolol is a very reliable BP medication and 50 mg is quite a good dose. Please take you atenolol daily. It will help get the BP under control. You do not need to worry about slightly higher BP levels up to 150/90. If the BP remains persistently higher despite taking atenolol regularly for more than one month, then you must be started on two BP medications.
pelase check your BP once in two days in resting period at different times of the day and maintain a log book.
please revert back after a month with the readings.
Wishing you good health
Regards
