Hi,

You seem to have been over-medicated and your symptoms are probably adverse effects of medications. Firstly, stop medicines that are non-essential. If symptoms still persist, then, get vitamin B12, and thyroid profile tested. If all normal, then, propranolol tablets can be started.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
