Brief Answer:
Probably due to anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
It is unlikely that such a gradual tapering down from tenormin would cause any discontinuation symptoms.

I think your symptoms of rumbling in Chet and nervousness are more due to your GAD.

Keep in touch with your treating doctor as you change your dose further.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
