Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You are right, Metoprolol and ACT can cause low BP, and hence make you feel. I would advise you should check you BP and pulse during such episodes, if its low then you should talk to your doctor he may change it or may need to reduce the dose. They can also cause postural drop, so you also check your BP on sitting and standing if there is more than 10 point drop in your BP on standing this may also be caused by the drug, and may need to change the timing and dose of the drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
