I just a have a question. can blood pressure medicine cause you to lose stamin in your sex drive? -

i was recenlty diagoised with hypertension and i ve been on blood pressure medince for a while can this affacet my ablity to keep an erection? and if so is there a way to keep it up

Yes these medications will affect your ability to get and maintain erections.talk to your doctor about it.He may be able to prescribe Viagra for you.

yes that s the first thing blood pressure medicine kills, if you can change your diet drastically (under your doctors supervision) by cutting out sugars and refined carbs, eating fresh greens, protein good carbs you should be able to lower or get off blood pressure medicine.otherwise you re only choice is to take more medicine for your impotence..............good luck!

Unfortunately that is one of the side effects of blood pressure medications. Antidepressants will do that too.

Dear fox murder: Yes it depends on the medicine. Most common culprits are beta blockers (propanolol, pindolol, timolol), Hydralazine derivatives, sometimes nifedipine and amliodipne. However, diuretics such as furosemide, or Clorotalidone,(Hygroton) as well as the so called ACE inhibitors such as captopril, ramipril enalapril etc do not cause such effect. Have you asked this question to the prescribing doctor? I would if I were You Sincerely Garfield526

Most definately yes, some meds used to treat hypertension can interfere with erections. Talk to your doc, they can t help if they don t know you need it. There are many different, effective meds they can use, but they need to decide, based on your health situation and needs. Trivia; Viagra was actually first developed as a blood pressure med. At the end of trials some of the male test participants didn t want to turn their remaining supply back in..
