Atenolol was the drug prescribed, and it left me tired, as though I was moving at higher gravity.  Walking uphill has been a particular strain. Then, at the height of the moving and renovations last summer, my GP switched me to bisoprolol, which made the fatigue much, much worse. The latest GP has now got me on metoprolol, which is slightly less exhausting than bisoprolol but also gives me joint pain.

The office, which was a nice old-fashioned practice when I signed up, has experienced high turnover and disorganization since it was "rationalized" into a Brockville group practice a few years ago.  We don't actually have a physician now.  Very frustrating.
