I seem to be getting plenty of rest. I am not stressed. I do take propanilal for high blood pressure but have taken this for years. I am not taking any cough syrup or an anti histamin. No other issues that I know of
I was told some time back that my thyroid was borderline so I have been wondering if it could be that.

Hello,
Thanks for writing back,
Propranolol can cause lethargy even if you are taking it for a long time though less but there are chances that it is causing this.
Main suspect in my opinion here can be thyroid you have to look into thyroid..you should visit your doctor and discuss about getting your thyroid work done. For BP control you can discuss other medication which have lessr side effects.
But for the time being your first step should be seeing your thyroid.
