To @Isska:
Yes, Propranolol, being a beta-blocker, can cause water retention in the body in some cases, leading to swelling. Swelling can manifest itself, m.in as increased body weight, swelling of the legs or swollen hands. It is worth noting that not every person experiences these side effects.
If you have concerns about water retention, it is important to consult your doctor. Your doctor may adjust your dose, change your treatment regimen, or recommend other remedies depending on your current health condition and your response to treatment. I encourage you to discuss your concerns and experiences with your doctor, who can tailor your therapy to be as effective and safe as possible.
Thank you for the message, but it can retain water in the body from what I read in the attached link - is it possible to prevent it, help, drink more water, use something for dehydration? The accumulation of water in the body often causes an increase in blood pressure (I know from my own experience), so then the hypotensive effect of the drug is a bit of a bit of a problem in this case

Propranolol may mask symptoms of hypoglycaemia, e.g. palpitations, tachycardia, and prolong the hypoglycaemic insulin response. This effect of propranolol is more likely to occur in people with diabetes and hypoglycaemic agents. The substance does not directly affect insulin secretion. In the available materials, I do not find any information that adverse reactions such as effects on body weight and liver parameters have been reported during the use of propranolol.
You can read more about the possible effects of propranolol on body weight in the following thread:
