Hi,

There is some caution needed in using metoprolol with amiodarone as it can sometimes cause too much heart slowing. However ots not strictly prohibited to use both and they can be used with caution.

But more important is such medication should not be used without doctors advice. The heart rate of 103 is not a great concern, up to 100 is counted normal, so you do need to be worried a lot about it.

Just relax .I don't thing you need to take any medicine for rate of 103.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
