Brief Answer:
Both are good

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Both are good...
There is no issue of one better than the other…
Each has its own indications and contraindications; effects and side effects
The choice is made by the treating doctor – based on his examination and investigation
For example losartan is better if there is associated Diabetes or asthma; Metoprolol is better, if there is Coronary Artery Disease or missed beats
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Good luck
