Can Amiodarone Be Taken While On Metoprolol And Eliquis?

I am a 73 year old male who takes losartan 50 mg daily and Metoprolol succinate 25mg 2x/day to control my HPB. My cardiologist recently prescribed 5mg Eliquis, and just yesterday performed a heart-shock treatment to bring my high heart rate down. He also prescribed a new drug, Amiodarone 200mg 2x/day, to maintain my lowered heart rate. My concerns: I am taking too many meds that lowers my blood pressure (lightheaded) and the Amiodarone has many negative side effects/possible interactions. Should I be worried??
