Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that her clinical situation does not seem to be related to her actual therapy.
Sleep apnea could mimic this clinical situation.
Anyway, it is OK to take these drugs separately and see if this will make any improvement in her situation.
So, you can try to take atenolol at night and amlodipine at lunch.
If her situation does not improve with this change, I would recommend consulting with her attending physician and performing some tests:
- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests in order to exclude a lung disorder
-an arterial blood gas analysis
- a polysomnogram to investigate for possible sleep apnea.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
