The doses need to changed. Atenolol needs to be changed.
A full profile of her BP readings taken at the same time in the same position preferably by the same person should be done for at least 5 days.
Next Steps
Blood tests: Creatinine,
Urine routine and microscopy
ECG, preferably 2D ECHO as well.
If she is over 50, random blood sugar to rule out diabetes.
