Atenolol and shortness of breath

I was taking Atenolol for about three years and suffered from dizziness, anxiety attacks, depression, wheezing and shortness of breath, muscular aches and pains, but some of those symptoms may have been caused by other medication I was, and still am, taking.
I stopped taking atenolol but also stopped taking the cholestrol-lowering tablets just before that and got them replaced by the doctor.
The aches and pains stopped and the depression almost gone, but still experimenting.
Trouble with doctors is they always give you and treat you with tablets that will have no come-back on them - just in case, so we never know where we stand. I had thought of suggesting taking niacin and asking the doctor`s advice but I know what he`d say and advise me not to take them to clear himself; point is, my cholestrol dropped from 7.8 to 3.6!!

Have been on Atenolol for about one year. Cannot function due to shortness of breath, very tired and sometimes very weak. Have muscle pain associated with this as well. Had a heart attack and that is why I was put on Atenolol. Never had high blood pressure before, but now with Atenolol find I cannot function. Hoping to get one something else with l ess side effects.

Have been on med for 1.5 years. the last 7 months heart rae has droped to the point of having 10 TIA's. all stroke syptoms testing has come back negitave. For last three weeks have been off med and no TIA's Has anyone else had this trouble.

Border line blood pressure, could not take full tablet. With only 1/2 tablet somedays I feel so much pressure in my chest as if someone is sitting on my chest. Head pressure & shortness of breath.

I have just been switched to atenolol. I have COPD and I have noticed an increase in my shortness of breath. Is this a side effect?
