Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

My opinion is that you should take Metoprolol 25mg until you will get a refill of sotalol on Tuesday.

In case you will experience tachycardia, arrhythmia or shortness of breath you should go immediately to ER.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
