Blood pressure and angina are two different entity. You need to take different medication for each. Its true that all antianginal decrease blood pressure but mechanism of action and duration of action is different.

Hello,
Depends on your BP readings. If BP readings are not very high and angina is more you need Metaprolol. If BP is high with angina you would probably need both the drugs.

Metoprolol has better angina relief.
But has less effect on bp as such
Try measuring bp after few days and update
