I take Propanolol 20mg 2  x day for a hand tremor. Keep in mind that it is also used for short term anxiety, and hypertension, among many other things.  This may be taking your BP too low, I would contact your doctor regarding this you don't want your next episode to happen while driving your car. Take care...

hi
i think it is side effects of the drug, hypotension can explain dizziness , blurred vision & faint.
I think if you have again another episode of fainting you should go to your family doc.wat is dose of 1 tablet of propanolol you are taking?
