"67 year old male on atenolol for about 3-4 years/ prescribed to keep my heart beat regular( having PVC&#039;s) and lower my BP which was high at 140/90. Pulse was about 80 at rest.  With atenolol at rest my BP is about 105/65 pulse is 52.  Taking 50 mg 1 x daily at bedtime. Seemed to take care of PVC&#039;s the first two years but then they became very bothersome. My doctor said try 50mg 2x daily morning and evening. This was making PVC&#039;s worse so I went down to 25 mg 2x daily and that seemed to help. Seems like after 7 to 8 hrs my PVC&#039;s would start up. Found atenolol has a 6hr half life, so now I am taking 25mg 3x daily every 8 hours. Seems to level out the medication in my system and controls the PVC&#039;s. BP and pulse still low, so I will continue that dose."
