What Causes Low BP While On Atenolol?
My BP has been running low for me. I m on Atenolol but also on a lot of other meds for Trigeminal Neurlgia. Lately my BP has been running around 95/70 pulse has been in the 70 s and oxygen levels have been above 95. I feel fine but I ve been getting headaches too. Should I worry?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Atenolol is an anti-hypertensive drug. It may explain low BP. I wish to know the dose you are taking. A dose adjustment of atenolol (lower dose) may help. Low blood pressure may also cause a headache. Just see your doctor for evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
