Amlopidine or metoprolol?
Sir, all my test like ecg, echo, tmt, chest xray all were normal, except high LDL cholesterol for which doctor suggested me rosuvas and I am taking it. It has been one month since I had chest pain . Now again I am feeling chest pain and tightness. Doctor said to have a bp medicine if tightness and chest pain occur. Which should I take metoprolol or amlopidine?
My weight is 110kg and bp one month ago was consistent 140/90.
I am not able to measure bp due to lockdown. Which medicine should I take, I have with me metoprolol which I bought a year back or should I buy amlopidine? Please advise.

Metoprolol should be avoided.
Nothing wrong in not taking medication for now.
140/90 is ok to wait
Try low salt and light excercise.
Update after a week
