OK: You should be fine. I assume the reason for taking Propranolol is your anxiety disorder. This will the right time to figure out of way to avoid missing doses in the future, take them at fixed times and creating a routine around that time for example.

Yes: Sounds like you are fine. If you take propranolol for anxiety, there is no need to worry. Some people take 80mg at a time. You should check with the doctor that prescribed the medication to ensure that you can double your dose should you miss it again in the future.
