Brief Answer:
Yes, you may get it.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Beta-blocker can cause generalized weakness. So there is certainly a possibility of having it. But since its a low dose to begin with, severity may not be that great to hamper your driving capacity. So u think you should be able to drive. Alternatively, you can try having it on holiday for the first time if it's not given for any urgent indication.

Hope I have answered your query.
