High Blood Pressure
"I&#039;ve been on Atenolol for the past 3 yrs, but previously have been on many other types of bp medications that did not work as well. The problem is now I&#039;m experiencing the side effects that others have reported on such as the sensitivity to light, decreased sexual arousal, dizziness occasionally, swollen ankles, and gout.  I have pain near my heart, and my legs, hands or feet &quot;fall asleep&quot; all the time. In the regards off lowering my pressure, it does the job. But the side effects are starting to get to me, and the longer I take this it may get worse. So I&#039;m talking to my doctor to wean me off this stuff."
