What Causes Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Tiredness, Depression And Cold Hands After Taking Atenolol?
I have been taking Atenolol fo about 3 months. My doctor prescribed another medicine for high blood pressure (first time user for blood pressure) I don t remember what it was - but it was very expensive, and Humana did not carry it - so my pharmacist recommended Atenolol - and my doctor approved it. I am very unhappy - I have regressed in health...have dizziness, lightheadedness, tired, depression, cold hands, etc.I have regressed about 2 yrs. I am making an appt. with my dr. as soon as possible. In researching, why was I given a beta-blocker - I also have asthma. Mary Lou Appell - YYYY@YYYY

These are among the most common side effects of drugs that block stress hormones. There are many blood pressure medicines that work differently and will have different side effects.
