Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It seems that your metoprolol tab is in very high dosage it has caused low blood pressure.
My advice to you is -

1. Reduce the dosage of metoprolol according to your doctor's advice. Your blood pressure will be rise and your symptoms will be improved.

2.Ask your doctor to do your 24 hrs blood pressure monitoring. It will record pulse and blood pressure
For 24 hrs.

3.Do your kidney profile, lipid profile, thyroid profile and sugar levels for rroutine check up.
