Brief Answer:
is 47 your heart rate?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for contacting us at healthcare magic.

A low heart rate and being on beta blockers such as Atenolol is concerning. If your heart rate is 47, I will suggest that you stop atenolol and report to your doctor. This might warrant the dose to be reduced or the medication to be stopped completely. I have a strong feeling the low heart rate and the dizziness is likely related to atenolol.

I hope that this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
