Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As a specialist, I can understand your concern.
You've high B.P.with tachycardia.
Metoprolol is the correct treatment.
But as the hypertension isn't well controlled, you may need another medicine, in the form of a diuretic.
First of all, you'll need a basic cardiac check, in the form of following tests:
1. blood routine, RBS,LFT,Lipid profile, creatinine and platelets.
2. EKG,Echo scan and a TMT.
3. After seeing these reports, it'll be decided, if an angiogram is needed.
After that expert opinion can be given, regarding medication to control your symptoms, by a cardiologist.
Now you should be clear, that dose of metoprolol,can't be advised, without a proper cardiac evaluation.
Wish you good health.
