Hi K,
>Does it just lower the pulse and/or does it keep it at a steady level?
It should prevent 'spikes' in pulse.
>When I exercise will my pusle rate go up at all?
Not as much as normal.
>If not, then there's no benefit to exercising while on a beta blocker, is there?
There's always benefit to exercising :-) The beta blocker won't prevent it from being beneficial.
>What will a beta blocker do to me during the times when I'd normally have a low pulse rate and blood pressure?
It might lower them a bit, but probably not much, especially at 25mg.
>Could the beta blocker lower them to a dangerous level?
It's not likely :-)
>I read that insomnia is one of the side effects from them as well.
Sleep disturbance is more a problem with Inderal, not so much with atenolol. Inderal can cause bad dreams.
