Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic... Noted you have hyperthyroidism ... According to cause its treatment done. Removal of thyroid is not only option.. Here you are taking methimazole and propranolol drug...
Yes these drugs can affect liver. For that liver enzymes study done... If they are elevated then drug might affect liver.
Consult physician and continue using drug for hyperthyroid with regular follow up....
