There is no interaction between atenolol and any of the mentioned oils. You can take any oil by your choice. These oils do not hinder in absorption of atenolol. They do not affect effectiveness of atenolol.
Advice
1.     Continue atenolol as suggested by your doctor
2.     Regular exercise at least 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. The best types of exercise for reducing blood pressure are walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing
3.     Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products
4.     Consume less salt in your diet. Avoid pickles and extra salt in your diet
5.     Avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee and caffeinated beverages
6.     Lose extra weight if you are overweight and keep your body mass index between 19 and 25. BMI is calculated by formula BMI = Weight in Kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters)
7.     Reduce your metal stress
8.     Measure your BP regularly and be in touch with your doctor
