Brief Answer:
Consult your cardiologist, you can probably stop it or change.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Metoprolol is a beta blocker and help stabilise the blood pressure and heart rate.
The heart rate 75 bpm is within normal range and if even blood pressure is normal it is not necessary needed and can be stopped but you may consult your cardiologist or doctor who prescribed it before stopping it. He possibly had a reason why prescribed it.
Your body may need up to two weeks to get used to the new medication you are taking.
If you cat get used to it and again feel unwell you may ask him to prescribe you another drug.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
