Lipitor and erection problems
Common Questions and Answers about Lipitor and erection problems
lipitor
(size of nodule slightly larger than 1 mm 5 m ago). According to the surgeon I also have goiter. I have also had problems with my color bone and my elbow - swelling and pain - at different times (after I started Lipitor).
My questions: If hypothyrodism can cause high cholesterol is it not better to take thyorid hormone replacement than Lipitor?
The Lipitor package insert recommends that a test of your liver function should be done prior to and at 12 weeks following both the start of therapy with Lipitor and any increase of dose, and periodically (for example, every six months) thereafter. If there are any changes in your liver function, drinking alcohol may make it worse.
Starting in October 2015, I began having digestion problems, nausea whenever I ate ANYTHING, gas, bloating and diarrhea. My doctor thought I had food poisoning (my symptoms were that severe) and put me on several courses of antibiotics. Finally he referred me to a GI who ran stool tests, blood tests, urine tests, endoscopy, colonscopy.
All NEGATIVE. He threw up his hands and said "I don't know what is causing this. You just have a bad stomach.
Each new statin he tried gave me anxiety. Finally we tried Lipitor and I had no problems. I have been on 10 mg of Lipitor now for nearly 7 years with no problems.
My insurance will no longer cover Lipitor. My doctor prescribed Pravacol and after 3 doses, I had an anxiety attack. It subsided when I stopped the medicine. A week later he gave me some samples of Crestor.
Hi
MY BACKRGROUND (AGE 56, HEIGHT 168 CM, 88 KILOS.
2002 Angioplasty for 70 percent blockage using catheritization (arm, Dr. Saito in Japan). No stent.
2006 no restenosis. 2008 Did CT scan radioactive dye and also no restenosis.
Age: 56--> Regimen: Lipitor 5 mg, baby aspirin, fish oil (about 3-4 grams).
initiating, filling and trapping. Initiating an erection (nerves/the brain), filling (the arteries, blood rushing in), trapping (the veins remaining shut so the blood can't escape the penis).
The way an erection works, you get stimulated, your body relaxes, blood rushes into the penis expanding the penile tissue.
Around 3 months ago sometimes I found it harder to reach and maintain and erection and after that there were 3-5 day periods aproximetly once every 3-4 weeks when I could not reach a statisfactory erection at all. And it's been like that ever since I feel like it got a bit worse to be honest. It usually takes me much more time to reach a softer erection that is much harder to maintian and can go bakc quite quickly, and I only get really erected 1-2 minutes before I ejaculate.
Hi I'm 17 years old never had sex and never had an erection. When I masturbate I get hard but never get erection, does anyone have answers?
I had no problems at all with that med. Then when the generic for Lipitor came out, she put me on that. I guess to save me money.
I was having constant daily headaches. Neurologist treated it as Migraines. MRI was normal. Still having some migraines weekly now. But my neurologist says I'm fine and that I am clear to return to work. I told him what all else I was feeling in my head and he just blew it off.
I don't know what's wrong with me :/
Lately I have been having problems getting an erection. Or if I get one, it's not fully erect and I can lose it easily.
A couple of years ago in high school I could go and go and go heaps of times in a row. The more I came the hornier I got and the more I wanted to go.
Now at almost 20 years old I have completely almost lost my sex drive and It's killing me.
I can never get an erection when I drink.
Lipitor can cause serious muscle problems that can lead to kidney problems, including kidney failure. You have a higher chance for muscle problems if you are taking certain other medicines with Lipitor. Especially telling if there are muscle problems like weakness, tenderness, or pain that happen without a good reason, and if your husband also has a fever or feel more tired than usual.
I have been taking Lipitor for the last 10 years and lately I have developed muscle pains. I was told the pain might be because of the Lipitor. I stopped taking them for a couple of months, the pain was much less however my cloestrol level was back to 290.
I would appreciate any insight or suggestions.
There is much controversy about cholesterol, but it is muted because of pharmaceutical financial interests in statins. Half of those who die of strokes or heart attacks have no history of high cholesterol. DeBakey discounted cholesterol. My own doctor pays no attention to it. What is the true role of cholesterol and how should one proceed? I don't know, but I won't take Lipitor.
At about 4 months after surgery, I changed statin and antacid medicines to Lipitor (80) and Nexium. Two weeks later, I started experiencing mild aching in the upper chest/esophogus area--a mild form of my heart attack/angina symptoms. I switched back to Aciphex at that time, but remained on Lipitor. At the six month after surgery point, I underwent a stress radionuclide test and another heart catheterization (required by my job). Both tests showed no problems.
When we first started having sex I had some trouble with erections but she and I believe it was due to some herbal med I was on. I got off of it and erection issues went away. We started having sex like a month before we married. And we were doing it 3 to 4 times a day. Now when we have sex the first time no problem. The second time around I have a little bit of an issue maintaining the erection but stay enough erect to stay inside her get fully erect and finish.
People taking lipitor are recommended to avoid alcohol in their diet because it raises the triglyceride levels, another lipid which is a risk factor for heart disease. Going to soft drinks would be far more beneficial for your body obviously but if this is impossible I would switch your lipitor to the mornings. Lipitor, unlike some statin drugs, can be taken any time of the day.
