It is possible. The atenolol is more likely than the Benicar for
causing the side effect you are describing.

Your heart rate is a bit too slow (probably because of being on too much
atenolol).

Would suggest you ask your doctor about either decreasing the atenolol
or switching you to something else.

You are welcome.

All praises belong to my heavenly Father, Whom I love with all my heart,
soul, mind, and strength :-)
