Hello!
Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that vomiting may be an adverse effect of taking Propranolol. Anyways, shivering is not typical, most likely not therapy related
It is necessary to check your blood glucose level.
If these symptoms persist you should inform your attending (prescribing) doctor as soon as possible.
If no other underlying issues exist, Propranolol daily dose reduction or switching to another alternative could be an option.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any other questions, feel free to ask me again.
