I am 43 years old and was diagnosed high blood pressure. My first therapy was atenolol. The problem with high blood pressure is that it doesn’t expose symptoms. I was scared when doctor told me that I have to use drugs every day. It happened two months ago. I am sure that atenolol helps me, but I am depressive and I think that I lost my libido.
Atenolol is beta-blocker, it mechanism is based on effect that make on blood vessels. Your symptoms are connected with lowing of blood pressure. I have to say to you that every antihypertensive causes impotency. Those side effects are usual. Maybe you should ask your doctor to prescribe you a tranquilizer. Or try to do something that makes you feel better. Do the garden, or go shopping.
Maybe you should check out webmd.com because they give much more USEFUL information. Altenalol DOESNT make everyone impotent ,for that matter not all meds for high blood pressure cause impotency. IF you are having a problem, tell your DOCTOR and he can prescribe something else.
