I’ve been on atenolol for 7 years with no stomach bloating.

Hi, I was on atenolol for a couple of months and had side effects. My GP switched me to amlodopine and I’ve been on it for over a year now with no problems. I suggest you talk to your GP and ask if that one might be a suitable alternative for you. Or a different one altogether of course.

Good luck.
