61yo, otherwise healthy BM, with a history of Hypertension well controlled with Atenolol (25mg ), Norvasc (10mg ); recently developed a 5 day history of asymptomatic bradycardia at rest. BP 127/74 (average) HR 59 - 43 (at rest)..HR while doing normal activities average 70-89 bpm. Atenolol and Norvasc both taken daily together in the morning. Should I dc Atenolol for a few days just to see if resting HR increases or just decrease its dose for a few days?
Hi, As you are having low resting heart rate, you definitely should stop Atenolol. You should also get an ECG done to see the rhythm, and please monitor your BP regularly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
