Hello,
Thank you for the query.
Your question is about side effects of atenolol. Atenolol is a beta blocker used to treat increased blood ,angina, to prevent heart attacks etc.As each medicine has some side effects,it also shows some like sleep problems
tiredness,anxiety, nervousness,slow or uneven heartbeats,lightheadedness, fainting,swelling of ankles or feet,nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite etc.
But do not stop medicine without consulting your doctor.If your husband is getting any side effects then talk to your doctor about these so that he may think of better options depending on the severity of problems.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
