In reply to Oh about the heart medicine. Atenolol 25 mg's, posted by Spriggy on April 14, 2005, at 11:11:22
Hi Spriggy,
I assumed it was a beta blocker, but didn't say anything. You said you have low blood pressure, so be sure to stand up carefully and slowly when you take this med.I also think you should look into biofeedback as an option for longterm treatment of your anxiety. Google (yes, it's a verb now!) biofeedback if you want to lear more about it.
Take care Spriggy.
