A fib and asthma inhalers

Has anyone had success with using a combined inhaler ( steroid and long acting bronchodilator) for asthma such as symbicort etc. and have it not trigger an episode of a fib ? Thanks

I've been using a combined inhaler, first Symbicort and now another one which is probably cheaper! for years. It is better than using Ventolin frequently, and of course asthma can kill you while AF is unlikely to. We all react differently so I can't say you won't be affected but it is definitely worth trying.

I am on Fostair 200/6, Tiotropium and Ventolin, all tho I get a faster heart beat sometimes, I would rather take my ventolin and be able to breathe easier than pass out because I could not breathe properly.
