"let me start off by saying that i&#039;ve done my research on atenolol--it doesn&#039;t have the greatest track record, and there&#039;s a lot of evidence coming out saying that it doesn&#039;t actually protect your heart or arteries from damage.

but atenolol is the only thing that has worked to control my heart. i used to have high bp (160/100) and tachycardia at times, but as soon as i started taking atenolol, it was like i was normal again. and i can definitely tell a difference when i stop taking it.

i get a little shortness of breath very infrequently and my pulse is sometimes under 60bpm, but it&#039;s the one drug that has worked for years. i wish i could find something better/more effective, but i haven&#039;t yet. tried losartan, vasartan, and a few others."
