Should be fine but:: Sounds like you have mild hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). I advise you ask your Dr. to test for thyroid antibodies as you may have thyroiditis, an autoimmune condtion. The metoprolol should be OK. if resting pulse goes below 60 you can lower the dose. Consider seeing an endocrinologist and/or specialist in Integrative Medicine for further evaluation.
