Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Difficulty breathing and palpitations are common medium expression side effects of beta blockers like metoprolol and atenolol.
Try using Atenolol, hopefully the side effects will decrease if not go away. Consult your physician for prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan
