Hi
Propranolol can really play havoc with your circulation - l used to get really cold hands and feet and sometimes pins and needles too. It could also be your anxiety aswell. You should make an appointment with your GP because it does sound a bit extreme - it could be that the propranolol is interacting with the other meds your on... Good luck :)
