I'm taking 200 mg of amiodarone. it feels like my pulse is low and my heart bear is slow. is that a cause for concern?

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.
