I can verify this. I have taken Atenolol, another beta blocker, for fourteen

years with no ill effects on my asthma. I took Lopressor for six months for

high blood pressure about 15 years ago and had asthma constantly. I had to

stop it for that reason. Beta blockers are not created equal, I guess.
