palpitations could be a sign of hypertension, or it could be a sign that there is a problem in the rhythm of the heart, or it could also be caused by anxiety metoprolol is a beta blocker and causes your heart to slowdown and may be used for rhythmic disturbances of the heart, or for anxiety and also for hypertension if your blood pressure is normal (about 120/80 mmHg), the palpitations you are experiencing are unlikely to be caused by hypertension
