Asthma / A Fib

Hi everyone, I have asthma and paroxysmal A fib. I have always been on Flovent HFA . Just getting over sinusitis and I’ve been having trouble with chest tightness . Ive had to use my rescue inhaler at least once or twice a day. I feel like the Flovent isn’t helping anymore. Is there anyone that has asthma and a fib on an combined inhaler like Breo Ellipta or Advair ? Do you find that you have more episodes of A fib ? I am a little hesitant to try one of theses because of the long acting b2 agonist . Doctor also mentioned Arnuity ellipta which is a corticosteroid inhaler like Flovent . Would like to hear from you all that might have the same issues as me and what has worked for you all . Thank you.

My NP was convinced that Advair was what sent me into Afib and put me on Pulmicort instead. Been on it post 20 years with no problems.
