Atenolol

I've been on the beta blocker Atenolol for about 4 months now for high blood pressure. I'm also taking Candesartan and Amlodipine as a combination. I've noticed some weight gain. As I train 4-5 times a week and eat an extremely healthy diet I'm now wondering if it's the atenolol. Is anyone else taking atenolol and have you noticed this particular side effect?

My Mumis on this, and she has gotten smaller if anything, although she did have a problem with water retention, and is now on water tablets aswell

Atenolol wouldn't cause weight gain, however amlodipine is notorious for causing fluid retention/swollen ankles.
