Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Yes: Amiodarone can cause slowing of the heart beat. Since you are concerned about your heart rate you may want to consider contacting a physician, preferably the one that prescribed the amiodarone to further check this out. An electrocardiogram might be very helpful.
