Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about!

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern I would like to assure you that there is nothing to worry about. Lisinopril and Metoprolol are commonly used together in the same person. Lisinopril as a blood vessel-dilator is the main antihypertensive drug; meanwhile Metoprolol helps to control fast heart rate and possible arrhythmia. Your husband is more safe (regarding Metoprolol) than the other patients, as he has a cardiac pacemaker implanted. So relax; nothing to worry about. It doesn't seem to be a mess.
Hope to have been helpful to you.
Feel free to ask me whenever you need! Greeting from Dr. Iliri.
