Hello,
Metoprolol can be used in combination with amlodipine as it decreases your sympathetic drive. The same is producing systolic hypertension and a relatively high heart rate for you. It would be better to take it as a twice-daily dose to get good 24-hour coverage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
