Owing to AFib was on Bisoprolol 1.25mg for 8 days and I did have upper chest and arm pain plus massive tiredness and other issues so I stopped it.
My GP swapped me to Atenolol 25mg which was better but still very tired so I did 14 days on that and stopped it.
My GP decided I did not tolerate beta blockers at that point and put me on Verapamil a calcium channel blocker which at the time worked for me with no side effects.
Maybe worth enquiring with your medics as to whether you could be similarly intolerant of beta blockers.
Been on Atenolol 50mg for 25years, after being on 25mg for a few years before that, but have never had that symptom. Have a chat with your GP about it. Could something maybe have caused it, or are you sure it’s the Atenolol?
Could possibly be. My husband takes lansoprazole for acid reflux, and he just said he had similar feelings in his chest ( but not the arm) to what you described, before he started taking it. Fingers crossed.
