What Causes Anemia After Taking Atenolol Dose?

I had a blood test done yesterday and the doctor said I have anemia and abnormal liver. He advised me to eat lots of iron-containing foods for the anemia. He said abnormal liver can be caused by eating raw fish and too much alcohol which do not pertain to me at all. I went back online to research the side effects of Atenolol which I am currently taking for high blood pressure. I need advice on what to do now. Thanks.
