I couldn't take the Atenolel. It blurred my vision. It did wonders at stabilizing my palpations though and it also slowed my heartbeat so it helped with anxiety.
My vision gets a bit fuzzy on occasion, but I'm hoping that because I take such a low dose, that it won't affect me that much. I've actually been on the stuff for 12 years now, so I think my body may have adjusted to it. Thanks for pointing out that side effect. I never looked at Tenormin side effects since I've taken it so long and it's never caused me any problems.

Some beta blockers can mask glucose readings and not to mention the weight gain. I wish my dr was more cautious with the diuretics. I've been on lasix, hctz and torsemides. they all causes glucose and cholestrol levels to rise.
Some calcium channel blockers also protect the kidneys, such as verapamil.
I take Norvasc. I can do well on it, but it does cause me sadness, depression. I take it at bedtime right now, so I can sleep through that part.
But that's what I would say to watch for. It seems like a good pill other than that. I am undecided if it's what I will stay with.
