Good Q! Short ans: yes - sexual activity safe in that scenario Long ans: propranolol treats physical symptoms (sweating,tremors,increase heart rate/bp, palpitations, fright,etc) experienced resulting from anxiety. It does not prevent/ reduce actual anxiety. Try small doses (10mg) only taken if needed (PRN) up to 4x/day. No significant increased risk with sexual activity. Possible decreased libido.

you can. One of the side effects of b blockers is it may make it more difficult for you to achieve an erection.
