Is it safe for my 57-year-old husband to take Aten 25 to ease his work-related travel anxiety, considering he has pre-diabetes and slightly high blood pressure (140/90) but his heart ultrasound is completely normal?

Asked by Female, 50 · 21 days ago

While Aten 25 (atenolol) is a beta-blocker that can help manage physical symptoms of anxiety like a racing heart, and could also help with his slightly elevated blood pressure, it is very important that he does not start this medication without consulting his doctor first. Because he has pre-diabetes, atenolol can sometimes mask symptoms of low blood sugar. Since his heart ultrasound is normal, his doctor can best evaluate if atenolol or a different approach is the safest and most effective way to help him travel safely and comfortably.
