Amlodipine & PAFs

[Vulture]

3 years ago I was prescribed Amlodipine for high blood pressure. Since then I have had 3 attacks of PAF. I have seen on some website forums that Amlodipine can cause fibrillations. Does anyone know any more about this or had any similar experiences?

Don't know for sure but have also been on Amlodipine (10mg) for a few years and 3 months ago diagnosed with AFib. Coincidence?

I was on Amlodipine for a short while about 2 years ago. I was taken off of it because they believed it was causing my AF to happen more often. It lists fluttering and pounding heartbeats as side effects.

Many years ago (30+) I took a med named Seldane to control allergies for about 6 years. Later it was taken off the market due to causing irregular heart beats. I've always wondered if that drug caused my AF.
