Do blood pressure meds affect erections?

Question

for better or worse?

on the one hand, its bp that makes it hard, so higher should be stronger.

on the other hand, improved circulation might lower bp and strengthen erections?

Answer 1

Blood pressure medications do affect erections.  Discuss this with your Physician as there are a few medications which have LESS affect than others.

Answer 2

Yes and not for the better.  If your drinking alcohol you need to stop.  Exercise lower your sodium intake and then you can get back in the saddle and ride'r  again.

Answer 3

usually for worse, as you cannot sustain sufficient pressure to maintain

Answer 4

some blood pressure meds such as beta blockers can affect the quality of an erection adversly. not generally a problem for young men though. examples are metoprolol, and atenolol

Answer 5

Very interesting hypothesis, but I don't think you should play with pills to try to get hard. But if your thesis is somewhat leading to somewhere I guess pills subscribed to a person with low blood pressure?

Answer 6

Look at the literature that comes with the BP medications, that will tell you what you need to know, or else call the pharmacist.

Higher blood pressure won't make erections harder or stronger, that's now quite how it works.
