Is A Combination Of Metoprolol And Amlodipine For High BP Safe?

First thank you in advance for your help. I have been taking Metoprolol Tartrate at 50mg twice a day for a while. My Doctor now wants to change me to one Metoprolol 50mg in the morning and 1 2.5mg Amlodipine Besylate at bed time. I am wondering why? My blood pressure was 140/90 yesterday.
