  1. I have been taking atenolol for 3 days now. I am taking a half of a 25 mligram dose. I have been feeling weird, really cranky, agitated, and my asthma is acting up my cough has been worse. I feel so ansy, agitated and can't relax right now. Is it the atenolol? I have no reason to feel this way so I do not know what is causing it. Does atenolol cause hypoglycemia? I remember I used to take celexa for anxiety but that caused me to get hypoglycemia so I stopped taking it. I hope this medicine doesn't cause it. What are your experiences and opinions on atenolol?

  2. I get shortness of breath a lot I have asthma plus anxiety so its hard to decipher if my shortness of breath is from asthma or anxiety. So I use my rescue inhaler but a lot of times I still get shortness of breath. even at rest. so a lot of the times I use mints but mom doesn't allow me to have a lot because of my teeth. So I use vicks. For the past two months I have been using vicks at night for my shortness of breath. Is it safe to use vicks everynight? I read that camphor is bad for you but when I feel like I can't breath I panic which makes it worse.

  3. I have dysautonomia and for many years i have been feeling disoriented, feeling as if i am in a fog, feeling as if im a zombie or in a dreamlike state that i wont wake up , feeling unreal, like everything is an illusion. I feel it a lot a lot of the time i feel it 24/7. I get worse when it rains because of the barometric pressure. I am so sick of feeling disoriented every single day. it is hard for me to go places because i don't like crowds or other stuff. I also have anxiety as well so its hard to tell if the disoriented feeling is from anxiety or my dysautonomia because even when i don't have anxiety i feel disoriented. anyone else feel the same way?

  4. I have Dysautonomia. I do not fit any specific ones but here are my symptoms: can't stand still for a long period of time or I get lightheaded. I am really sensitive to heat. I get lightheaded a lot during the summer. If I stand up too fast I get dizzy. I cant turn my head and walk at the same time or I get dizzy. I get a seasick feeling in my head like I feel like im on a boat but im not. I feel disoriented everyday all day like a zombie like im in a dream and can't wake up. I have a lot of anxiety everyday too.

    Now for my question: I am really sensitive to air pressure change. One time when I was 11 people came to our home to put in new windows. They used the weatherization fan that they put in the doorway and seal it up so no air can escape then they suck the air out of the hosue to make sure the windows are intact and as soon as they were done I passed out and got blue specks all over my body. I went to the hospital and nothing was wrong with me.

    Whenever it storms or before it rains or when it rains I get really lightheaded and just feel even more disoriented. It's been raining all day here in PA and I think the air pressure is high or something because I've been lightheaded and really disoriented and anxious. has anyone else experienced sensitivity to air pressure change with dysautonomia? I am also very sensitive to lights. I even wear sunglasses in the house.

  5. I took atenolol today for the first time. My cardiologist wanted me on it to help my heart not work so hard. Also My neurologist wanted me on it to help my migraines, and my pediatrician wanted me on it to help my anxiety. So my cardiologist prescribed me to cut a 25 milligram pill in half to take to see if that helps and I will see him again in three months. I took the pill this morning and I just feel tired sluggish and fuzzy. did anyone else feel that way with atenolol? how long does it take to get used to the medicine? I also had a headache today . Thanks!

  6. Thanks. Yea my disoriented is probably from tiredness plus I have anxiety too. I did have anemia when I was a baby and I had a blood transfusion. But my iron has been good since. Tammy it says in the purple writing that you are on atenolol. My cardiologist prescribed it for me last week because when I have some heart problems because I had a hole in my aortic valve when I was born had two open heart surgeries and I have slight leakage nothing too serious but my cardiologist prescribed it because the one place on my left side of heart is working too hard ors omething my mom understands it better is working too hard so he prescribed it. Did you get any side effects from atenolol? I just got the script filled today I haven't tried it yet I want to look at side effects. Thanks everyone!

  7. I am a 21 yr old female. I just got my time of the month yesterday and today I had to wake up early at 6:00 because my mom had a drs appointment that I had to go to. For some reason I am just so so tired where I have no energy and I feel moody and depressed. I have no idea why though. I also feel so disoriented like a zombie and I feel unreal like I am in a dream. Has anyone else experienced this? I mean I feel disoriented a lot basically 24/7 for years now but today is just worse and I feel so tired its hard to keep my eyes open. I feel like im in a dream and cant wake up. Is it the dysautonomia acting up? I am not sure what section of dysautonomia I am but one doctor has thought Neurocardiogenicsyncope but I have never fainted. I am also really sensitive to heat. I get lightheaded easily. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? How do you beat extreme fatigue like I am experiencing. My cardiologist said I can't have caffeine so that is out of the question and I can't take naps during the day because I wont be able to sleep at night. Advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

  8. I am 21 year old female. I have had Dysautonomia a few years now. I am not sure what category I am in now. One doctor has said i have neurocardiogenic syncope but i have never fainted. I get lightheaded when i stand in one place for a long time without walking. I am very very sensitive to heat. I get heart palpatations a lot. I feel disoriented all day everyday i feel unreal like a zombie or like i am in a dream. I get shortness of breath a lot even when i am at rest on the computer. i feel tired a whole lot. I am also sensitive to lights. i wear my sunglasses a lot even in stores. i don't like crowds in stores and i hate walmart and target where the florescent light bounces off the tile floor. its frustrating. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?

  9. I get shortness of breath a lot lately. My parents keep saying oh its anxiety. but I get it when I am not anxious. It's a frustrating symptom. I get so anxious that something is wrong with me. I use my rescue inhaler a lot because I keep wondering if it is asthma. that doesn't help so I use vicks and eat strong mints and use mint chapstick. I wouldn't recommend the chapstick because I use the carmex so much my lips are thinning like crazy. I use vicks everynight to help my shortness of breath. I hope that is safe to use everyday.
