Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Aten ( atenolol ) is a beta blockers.
You are taking this drug from last one year. Your B P is now 130/90 mm of Hg .
The cause of concern is lower blood pressure i.e. 90 diastolic blood pressure.
In my opinion your diastolic blood pressure is high .
Dizziness is one side effect of aten -50 .
In my opinion consult your treating physician and get his opinion about lower blood pressure .
Otherwise get a second opinion.
Good luck. Dr. HET
