Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Metoprolol is newer beta blocker. Nowadays, it is preferred beta blocker over Atenolol.
Metoprolol is having least side effects and higher efficiency and efficacy.
So you can definitely take ibuprofen metoprolol instead of Atenolol.
No harm in it.
Metoprolol will control both, high pulse rate and hypertension.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
