I have hyperthyroidism and the dr put me on 10mg propranolol for heart palps. is it ok to continue light exercise? will the med decrease my pressure?

Yes: It's ok to exercise and propranolol has the potential to lower BP but even if 10 mg taken four times a day, the effect on BP will be minimal because the dose is small.
