Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that your blood pressure is on higher side which need to be managed to avoid further high blood pressure complications.
Metoprolol 100 mg won't help much in lowering your pressure but heart rate. For high blood pressure you need to start with different group of anti-hypertensive drugs.
It's recommended for you to start with Telmisartan or personally consult with a physician for written prescription.
Hope to have been helpful.
