I have both Asthma and high blood pressure and am taking metoprolol. I was very concerned that this would work against my asthma so I had very detailed conversations with both my asthma doctor and my regular doctor.
Its been 3 years now since starting metoprolol. My BP is under control and so is my asthma. Although metoprolol should work against your asthma - only thing I experienced was a slight cough when i first started.
I suggest you talk with both your doctors at length about taking this drug with asthma. There are other HP drugs out there - but metoprolol is the tried and true one. Talk with your doctors.
