Depression & Head: Yes. Propranolol can also cause depression. You may want a full medication evaluation about all of this from a trusted medical advisor. Smoking also leads to low oxygen in your blood and in the tissues throughout your body. This can make your headaches worse as well.

Yes: Depression and stress can cause you to have headaches. Propanolol also can cause depression as a side effect. Best to discuss this with your doctor. There may be other alternatives to try that do not have the risk of possibly worsening your depression.
