I'm an avid runner and am worried knowing this drug is slowing my heart and metabolism, and I might be hurting myself by running and asking my heart to exert?
Are there exercise limits while on Metoprolol?

No, you will not be hurting your heart by running whilst taking a beta blocker
Regular exercise is an important part of your long-term health plan.
You should aim for a moderate intensity level of exercise.
