Petrol beta does not treat the cause of anxiety. It has propanlol which acts to relieve the autonomic symptoms and clonazepam which is given for short term control of anxiety symptoms. Both do not address the core cause which is altered serotonin commonly in mind pathways. SSRIs or snris are given to treat the cause. Kindly consult an astute psychiatrist either in person or online and seek remedy.

Yes, sleep issues are common in generalized anxiety disorder. In fact, you know the mind is so hyperactive that it doesn't rest, and so your sleep is affected. What you can do is you can try breathing exercises throughout the day and just before sleeping. I can provide you some customized for that. You can get in touch with me and also talk about any stress that you have on your mind. All the best.

Better to revise the treatment for better improvement. Inadequate treatment can't address your symptomatology so consult a psychiatrist for correct treatment.
