Hello and welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have read through your question and here is my opinion. Metoprolol succinate is a B blocker and prescribed for controlling hypertension. It is not dangerous unless you have some condition in which it is contraindicated for eg . Bronchial asthma. If you still have any doubts you can discuss this with your general physician. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Have a nice day.
