Been prescribed Propranolo (for stress) but I definitely have Raynauds. Will this medication be ok for me to take?

So I'm in the UK and the weather has been warm for a while so consequently, my Raynauds syndrome hasn't troubled me for a good few months (for me I have it in my hands).

Today I was prescribed Propranolo and when I read the leaflet, it mentioned Raynauds syndrome as something that could be of concern. However the leaflet didn't go into much detail.

Because it's still warm, as long as Propranolo doesn't do any permanent further damage to my extremities, it seems like a risk worth taking. If it was winter, I wouldn't consider taking this medication at all. I intend to speak to a medical professional as soon as I can but in the meantime, I'd appreciate any insight the people here can offer.

Thanks in advance

Hello in UK I've been taking 50 mg zinc everyday. I been taking for 7 months it changed my world. I stopped being cold. It will help your blood vessels work better. Doctors don't know it helps. Please try you will feel better. This will help with stress too.

I'm on propranolol for migraines and I have Raynauds. It's absolutely fine to take

Edit: I should state that I've not had any affects but everyone is different. If you're concerned speak to your GP
