HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without knowing the cause of your symptoms it is not advisable to start the drug which related with cardiac disease or for hemodynamic system, in my opinion better to stop the Metoprolol until you get done the test, but this may not be heart related problem, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
