HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have generalized anxiety disorder. In that case, you need combination of treatment. You need both medicine and psychotherapy. Propranalol has better effect on somatic symptoms, so you can replace atenolol with it. Carry on with paxi and you can also try benzodiazepine. In psychotherapy, you can plan some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing. Better to consult your psychiatrist for proper medicine.
