Could atenolol have any connection with some 2 minute memory pauses I have had - we have ruled out atril fib, MRI s, EEG s, ultrasound of carotid artery, and PET scan have been normal, Lymes test has come back negative. The 2 minute episodes (6 in 6 months) were reduced to 2 in 12 months after cutting the atenolol from 50 to 25 mg. Alzheimer s is a possibility but several doctors said it doesn t act like that. I have not had any episodes in the 15 months, but I do have some memory holes and some delays in recalling certain words. Any suggestions????? Joan
