Hi,
Based on from the information provided it seems that you are having slow heart rate and wanting to know which of the listed drugs viz Losartan/hct 100-12.5 mg, Montelukast 10mg, Amlodipine 10mg, Metformin ER 500mg, Omeprazole 20mg, Gabapentin 100mg, carvedilol 3.125mg, Metoprolol 25mg, Sertraline 100mg and creon may cause it.
Metoprolol along with carvedilol will reduce your heart rate and I think they were the major cause to slow your heart rate.
Hope it helps

10 medicines at ago are definitely too many and some of them can slow the heart rate as you said. You need to be medically reviewed by your doctor to see if some of the medications can be withdrawn.
