Is There Any Side Effects For Hypertension Medicines?
Hello Doctor. I m a 34 years old male, suffering from hypertension. I m taking Telma 40 (morning) and Atenolol 25 (Evening) every day, for a month. Over the past few days, I feel a little dizzy, lightheaded. Is this one of the side effects of the medication I am taking? Thank you for your help.

Hello,
So Atenolol has a property to reduce heart rate and if it goes below 60 then it can cause dizziness. Please visit your doctor for a clinical examination. Dose of atenolol may require reduction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
