    Your inhaler alone can cause atrial fibrillation, as can be seen under "cardiovascular effects" in the maker's online description. It probably lists that in the info sheet that comes with the inhaler - maybe you're like me and prefer to throw those into recycling unread so docs can't accuse you of self-inflicted side effects :-)

    Don't know about your heart med. In the States pharmacis/chemist would be the best person to ask.

    As Aitarg said there is info on the sheet that came with the inhaler, read  it, or

    google the two drugs and see what it says about compatibility.  When it comes to

    meds I like talking to my pharmacist as opposed to the doc., she is very knowledgeable about side effects, etc.  Take care of yourseslf and please do something about your situation.  Don't just think it will go away or get better.

    The information leaflet that comes with the medicine is a good read to find out information concerning your medicine.  Also Drugs dot com have a interaction checker you could use.

    If concerned in any way also seek the advice of a medical professional.
