HI, I am a 50 yr old male and was suffering from PVC since my early 30s.  I started taking atenolol 25mg 11 years ago (about age 39.  Now taking 50mg).  I recently moved overseas and saw an internist because I felt like I was urinating too often.  Blood surger was fine, so they did an ultrasound on my batter and prostat.  He says I have BHP.  But, in the interview, I told him I was taking Atenolol for 11 years.  He said that long term use of this drup can cause diabetes and screw around with hormones.  He prescribed Isoptin SR 240 mg.  He said I should take half the atenolol (25 mg) and half the Isopitn (apparently 120 mg) for one month and then take half again of the atenolol and increase the Isoptin so that after 2 months I am completely off the Atenolol.  Does this sound like a correct thing to do?  I was doing fine - as far as I can tell - on the atenolol but am concerned about long term use.
Hello Sir, I have read your medical history carefully, As PCs are usually not harmful and need no treatment until unless they become bothersome for the patient. In your case as you are taking medicine for it from so many years and it's doing its job nicely so I would like to continue with Atenolol 50 mg as you are taking. Also, it belongs to beta blocker class which is the first line Chat Doctor.  No
