Maybe: Propranolol is a "beta blocker" and used for hypertension and in some cases anxiety. One effect of this class is to slow heart rate. From the little info you supplied it looks like it is working fine. However, if you are concerned, talk it over with your physician and if necessary there may be alternatives available. Good luck.
