Can Prolonged Intake Of Atenolol For Angina Cause Any Side Effects?

I have been taking atenolol for several years now because of angina and having had two stents inserted into coronary arteries. My dosage is 25mg per day, reduced from 5omg some months ago. I am nearly 68. Are there any long term health dangers in taking atenolol which I should be aware of and, if so, what should I do to avoid them? Thank-you
