Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, with the history of asthma and allergies to nifedipine you can use non-dihydropyridine type calcium channel blockers like verapamil for A-fib and hypertension. Alongside diuretics can be used safely. Beta blockers may better be avoided keeping asthma in the view. The root cause seems to be hyperthyroidism so you should better discuss radioiodine therapy to get rid of this issue once and for all.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
