I told pdoc that I found through my online research that propranolol doesn't usually lower already low blood pressure, but she said that it could. She said she thought the risk of fainting was too great.
GP said our bodies have a mechanism to prevent itself from having too low blood pressure.
I don't feel like bothering pdoc for such a minor thing. Fainting is not life threatening.
I think I'm going to try taking 40 mg propranolol two times a day to see what happens. GP suggested I do that and then get my blood pressure measured two weeks later before my pdoc appointment.
