Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It may not be related to metoprolol.
However, give the benefit of doubt and change to a different drug
Beta blocker should not be stopped suddenly – need to be tapered.
There are other beta blockers and other drugs for similar effects – why was it prescribed?
Discuss with your doctor

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
