What Causes Swelling In Feet And Ankles While On Atenolol?
I have been taking Atenolol 6.25 mg (1/4th of 25mg tab} for five years for fast heart rate and BP. I did fine. Now my doctor increased my dose to 25 mg and several days later I have swelling in my feet and ankles. I am 69 yrs old and weigh only 99 lbs. Could 25mg be too much for me? Will swelling eventually go away or should dose be decreased? My BP is fine. Thank You, Ron P.
