Does atenolol cause weight gain?

Honestly, I put on about 3 kilos after starting Atenolol because it made me feel super lazy all day. I talked to my doc and we adjusted my diet, which helped bring it back down. If you're facing the same, just watch your food intake and talk to your doctor.

My love for street food definitely didn't help when I started this medicine! Atenolol does make you feel a bit sluggish, which makes you crave comforting carbs. I had to consciously switch to baked snacks and roasted makhana to keep my weight from shooting up.

Weight gain can sometimes point to fluid retention, which is something you should definitely not ignore while taking blood pressure medication. Please get it checked by your doctor for proper safety. Let them evaluate if it's normal weight gain or something that needs attention.

Atenolol can lower your heart rate, which makes you feel tired during workouts and can lead to weight gain. If your doctor allows, try focusing on low-intensity steady-state cardio like brisk walking for 45 minutes daily. It helps keep the metabolism active despite the medicine.

Haan babu, is dawai se thoda sharir bhaari ho sakta hai kyunki yeh humari thakan badha deti hai. Aap thoda subah shyam dhyan se tehlein aur halka khana khayein. Baki doctor sahab se pooch kar hi koi badlaav kijiyega.
