What Causes Aura Flashes In The Eye And Headaches While On Atenolol?
I am a 75 year old female. I take 25 mg of Atenonol in morning and 25 mg in evening. I have been having aura flashes in my eye and headache on right side of my forehead. I took my BP and it was 180/70, normally is 125/ 70. My question is can I take another 25mg of Atenonol now and check my BP in an hour?
