His pulse (and blood pressure) were always in a good range with his med. A few months ago BP and pulse started dropping with pulse into the 60's. Then a few weeks ago his pulse has dropped into the 50's. Not sure if it is related to his CKD or not. GRF at 47 a month ago (he paid for his own kidney blood test). Still resisting doctor. Today he is getting his flu shot and possibly Covid-19 Pfizer booster shot at local CVS.

The short answer is that CKD can affect both heart rate and blood pressure. So can Atenolol, and the combination of the two might have an additive effect. A call to the doctor would be in order.
