Atenolol 50Mg

A routine check-up with practice nurse today. Pulse was 40bpm. BP OK. She consulted Dr and told to stop atenolol. A bit anxious about this. Is this usual. Also on lisinopril 5mg and bendroflumethiazide 2,5mg. Thanks for any comments

Quite correct.
Atenelol is a beta blocker and the side effects include a slow pulse rate (Bradycardia)
Your pulse rate of 40bpm is very slow and although there are other causes for this, Atenolol is the main culprit.

Monitor the situation.

Thank you. I just needed some reassurance as the nurse thought she might half the dose. Ta
