Brief Answer:
He can take the medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As his BP is not controlled by a single drug,it is natural to shift into Combination drugs.
Metoprolol and Amlodipine combination is a safe combination for control of BP.Many patients of mine were benefitted with this combination. Few side effects like Dizziness,weakness etc are described in literature. But, the benefits over weigh the side effects.
As your Surgeon said,Hydrocele has to be managed surgically. He can undergo surgery once his BP comes to normal.It is a simple procedure.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
