High Blood Pressure And EQ

I’m in good physical shape but My EQ has not been great lately and it’s one of the reasons I started this journey. I am right on the borderline with blood pressure and my doc wants to put me on medicine. I have heard that certain meds for blood pressure can lead to ed. Does anyone on here take it. I was told to avoid beta blockers and diuretics. I was thinking if I go on it the blood vessels would relax this making my situation better long term?

I take amlodipine and my EQ has only gotten better. Amlodipine is the generic for Norvasc. So either of those I would recommend from my personal experience. I take between 2.5 and 5 mg daily.

That is the perfect question to be asking of your Doc.

Any diuretic KILLED my dick DEAD within 2 days!!! I take Amlodipine 10mg and Diovan 320mg daily. No problems with a woman present but alone i have issues getting it up for clamping. It seems like it detaches your imagination somehow. Also i take it at bedtime AFTER sex because i can feel it mess with my wood if taken during the day.

Yes it has been my experience that beta blockers and diuretics promoted ED. Amlodipine does not. I also found that Amlodipine greatly extended the time to ejaculation. This may help those that ejaculate prematurely.

Long term, the things that cause vascular disease also cause ED. That’s because Ed IS a vascular disease.

With HTN, the arterial vessels become chronically narrowed and eventually calcified. When that happens, they no longer dilate properly and you don’t get enough flow to the penis to cause tumescence.

Blood pressure, simply put, is cardiac output X systemic vascular resistance.
There are 3 principle ways that antihypertensives work:
-Diuretics reduce circulating volume, causing a reduction in cardiac output via reduced preload.
- Beta Blockers, some calcium channel blockers, and some other types have negative inotropic effects on the heart, causing a reduction in cardiac output.
-ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, alpha-blockers, some calcium channel blockers, nitrates, as well as a bunch of other drugs act on the smooth muscle in the blood vessel walls, causinn them to relax and dilate. The effect is reduction in systemic vascular resistance.

As far as erectile function goes, those drugs that reduce cardiac output and don’t reduce system have the potential to reduce sexual function because they reduce pressure but don’t address the constricted blood vessels.

Every drug has pros and cons. For essential hypertension, look into the calcium channel blockers (amlodipine) and ARBs (losartan). And, of course, discuss your sexual health concerns with the prescribing physician.

ask your doc about bystolic. it promotes nitric oxide to reduce blood pressure.

But long term, get advice on your diet to control BP.

Bystolic is a “cardio selective” beta-blocker that has some peripheral vascular resistance effects. But it’s mechanism of action isn’t fully understood.

For what it’s worth, ED drugs cause dilation of blood vessels.

If you want your pressure lower and more flow to your wang, go toward something that encourages vasodilation.

High blood pressure is a clear indicator things in your body are building up that may impact eq

The answer is obvious and omnipresent. Lifestyle changes.

First and foremost you need to change whats at the end of your fork, minimize processed sugars and carbs and you’ll see drastic improvement. Healthy fats are great for you like fish, olive oil, avocado, even nuts.

I’m a big fan of cialis (tadalafil) , great work out pumps, good for prostate health, helps balance estrogen and testosterone, and lowers blood pressure. Small dose of 5mg every other day is all you need.

Another more natural option is L-citrulline
