Just wondering if any guys have experienced any issues with viagra or sildanafil and blood pressure medication. I was given some sildanafil by a friend who i trust, but am wary of trying them if it buggers up by blood pressure meds. Would hate to pass out during sex. It could be seen as a compliment, as long as they don't think i fell asleep!!!!

The best place to go for advice here is your doctor.

Just because it works for one person doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous for another .

That’s a long time to wait for a GP appointment.

My doctor was brilliant. He explained everything including that my other medication can cause ED after being on it for a long time. He asked lots of questions, but I never felt embarrassed. He told me that he was happy to prescribe it, but it is limited per month.

So go to your gp to make sure it’s right for you a never take medication prescribed to someone else!!

I suffered blackouts after being prescribed a mixture and too much hypertension medication by my GP.

Unfortunately, every medication has side effects and all medication comes with a leaflet thst tells you this. But of course no-one (ie me or my GP) expects to be the 1 in 10,000 that it does give a negative reaction too.

I had prior to these episodes took Blue pills obtained on line with no problems.

I would recommend discussing with your GP..as it depends on your own BP levels and what you are already taking.

But...as in my case ...there still could be unexpected side effects ...like ANY change in medication.

As others have said see your GP. I talked to mine about it because I am on various meds. All very matter-of-fact as if we were discussing something like a chest infection. He prescribed the equivalent of Viagra and they seemed to work. Slightly amused that I was only prescribed four a month but getting sex that often would be a miracle.

I'm on Amlodipine for Hypertension and I take sildenafil, prescribed by my Dr.But just because it's ok for me doesn't mean it will be for you. As mentioned on here, contact your GP. You probably be able to get a phone appointment and won't even have to see him

I have high BP so take meds to lower it.

Viagra works by increasing your BP.

Always ask your doctor first.

It doesn’t raise it, it lowers it. That’s why it can be dangerous to take it with other meds that decrease BP without discussing with your GP.

I’m on BP medication and get Viagra on prescription due to other meds. Doc is un-phased when you discuss it, they’ve heard it all before.

See a Doctor.

He may also be able to tell you why you have ED and may treat it another way.

If you are on any form of Nitrate medication for the heart etc do not take it as it will cause your BP to fall dramatically

This echoes what my pharmacist explained.

Apparently Viagra was developed originally as a BP reducing medication. It causes the blood vessels to relax, thus increasing blood flow (including to the penis).

They realised the erection side-effect, and marketed it as a ED medication instead.

Or something like that.

Felodipine use to control BP can cause ED.

I’m under a Doctor to see what happens.

When I reported that I’d missed a few doses and I felt stirrings again. He told me to stop using BP med.

BP test next week etc and hopefully some different treatment

Go to a doctor, if that’s awkward, talk to a Chemist, you have to do a pre assessment where you disclose your medicine.

I found Rampril gave me a degree of ED

The doc laughed when I told him, I don’t go to that doctor anymore.

I changed medication for other reasons, and the ED went away.

Exactly my fears and is why I've never taken Viagra or similar. One effect of it is to lower blood pressure, something I don't need, mine is fine on the medication I'm taking. Much lower and I could pass out, or worse.

Information on the web is contradictory. No solace there.

In fact, usually worse than that. They always err on the side of caution so their advice may not be that useful either.

The situation is the same as with antibiotics. Don't drink while on them. This leads you to believe they there is a conflict and they won't work alongside alcohol. Not true, it's because one person in thousands may have contra effects.

I'd recommend a doctor. But I suspect that there are guys in both the blood pressure and ED demographics that manage both together.
