Hello,
If you are taking Coreg just for high blood pressure, then it may be an option to switch to a similar medication like atenolol (though I'm not sure why you were taken off metoprolol). There are also other blood pressure medications that could be considered as well, such as spironolactone, chlorthalidone, or hydralazine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
