Yes they are side effects that you may experience:
Dizziness
Lightheadedness
Drowsiness
Tiredness
Unusual dreams
Which could lead to loss in concentration, as your body adjusts to the medication.
If any of these effects persist or worsen, please seek medical attention from the doctor/pharmacist who prescribed the med.
Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing, if you notice other effects, contact your doctor/pharmacist, please. Hope the info helps?

i have been taking this medication for a number of years now, and my concentration and ability to remember conversations which have only taken place are getting worse
I would seek medical attention & request for an alternate, as Propranolol is a prescription drug used to control high blood pressure, relieve symptoms of angina, and treat other conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. By decreasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the heart's workload, this medication reduces the risks that accompany long-term hypertension.
Usually memory loss is also related to high BP meds, I do get this effects at times, I am on 3 different high BP meds & have total black outs at times - complete memory loss.
I have been taking this drug for several years for migraine prevention and have never experienced any negative side effects. 80mg each morning.
