Propranolol is not on the list of contraindicated drugs for Harvoni. Here is the list: http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/ledipasvir-sofosbuvir,harvoni-index.html
I am assuming you have esophageal varicies due to your portal hypertension and that is why you are taking the beta blocker propranolol to treat your portal hypertension is that correct?
Portal hypertension in a common occurrence in liver cirrhosis and likely many with cirrhosis who were treated were also taking beta blockers
Good luck on treatment
