Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Metoprolol is given after heart attack. Its given if someone is having decreased ejection fraction, in order to prevent further fall in ejection fraction. Also, it's given to keep heart rate under control if someone's heart rate is high and having residual blockages thereby preventing angina. So, in these scenario, these are continued on long term basis even if BP is normal.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
