Hello and welcome to HCM
I have read and understood your query
I hope this will help
You are having uncontrolled hypertension.. Which is a risk factor for heart ,RENAL and cerebrovascular diseases..
I think you should keep on waiting for ATENOLOL 50MG to work for you ..you should consult your GP again and there are two options:
Either dose of atenolol should be increased to 100mg per day (or)
A second anti hypertensive drug should be added to it..
Mean while try to lose weight, do regular exercise, eat less salty and fatty foods and avoid taking stress..
I hope this was useful.. You can reach me any time with an otgeru question
