Betacap Tablet is used for migraine, fast heart beat, hypertension, hemicrania and other conditions.
Nausea, Headache, Fatigue, Dizziness, Palpitations, Abdominal pain, Breathlessness, Diarrhoea, Slow heart rate, Constipation are the side effects.

Believe at age above 60, even systolic blood pressure till 150 is acceptable. Once in a week bp monitoring, mild reduction in salt intake (after monitoring electrolytes balance), and then periodic review with your doctor should help. If you have been using propranolol fro some time, then it is clinical judgement, but pls don't suddenly start it at 80 mg/day, as it can cause sudden fall in blood pressure.

Betacap is known to cause erectile dysfunction in few patients, in view of your heart rate it was probably prescribes to you, but you can consult your treating doctor for change in medication. Also the cause of your high BP and fast heart rate should be thoroughly investigated, please consult a cardiologist regarding the same.
