For short duration, it's okay to use it. Try to check for anemia or other factors causing high pulse rate

Your pulse rate of 122 is the upper limit of normal pregnant women. Kindly recheck at different occasion before starting the medicine. As metoprolol is category c drug. Which means no studies in human or animal done sufficiently to know its effect on pregnant women.
