I have a rather complicated medical history involving Ulcerative Colitis, Total Colectomy's and other fun stuff...
A year later I'm fairly healthy. I'm a few pounds underweight, as I haven't gained weight very quickly since all the surgery.
My real problem is that I normally have a resting pulse in the 100's. I'm visiting a cardiologist for the first time on Friday. I have a perscription for 25 mg Atenolol... would it be advisable to take it the day/day before the visit? Would this medication skew results?

What is advisable is discussing with your doctor about whether stopping the atenolol for your visit with the cardiologist is a good idea.
