| Re: Dizzy on Atenolol
I am on the same 2 meds. They are terrible. Do not drink a lot of alcohol (even 4 drinks on these meds). They kill my stomach in the mornings. I have occasional dizziness, lethargy, depression, flushing, low pulse, stomach problems+ on these 2 meds. They are the worst. I am going to a specialist on 2/16 to try to get off of both of these meds. Have been on Lotrel for almost 2 years & Atenolol for almost 1 year. They are the worst! Yes, I do get dizzy on Atenolol occasionally. I give both of these meds. a 1 out of 5.
My B/P has averaged around 116/66 for the last 5-6 months. Drank a 6 pack of beer yesterday & Saturday & my b/p was 130/77 today. It's crazy what alcohol can do. My pulse is also about 14 points higher than it normally is on the meds. You have to drink in extreme moderation & live a lousy lifestyle on these meds. from my experience. I want to be off of b/p meds. entirely. These 2 drugs combined also gave me terrible stomach cramps & everything went right through me today. It could have been the alcohol made it worse, but I want off of these 2 meds. IMO, they both should be taken off of the market.
