1260320 tn?1270394906 I'm on Benicar HCT, have been for many years. Benicar is in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar HCT has a diuretic included as well. I have been fortunate, Benicar has worked from the first day I took it and works well still today. My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!
Avatar m tn Hello all I am a 25 year old man with high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction. I had read alot about erectile dysfunction being a symptom of coronary artery disease. Does my nornal stress test rule that out? Why am I impotent?
Avatar m tn I am going in for gallbladder removal in 4 days and no one has told me to stop taking Benicar HCT beforehand. I'm on a 20/12.5 dose once daily, so it's pretty low, but won't it possibly cause problems with the anaesthesia/barbituates or if they have to give me morphine afterwards (not likely, but possible)?
Avatar n tn My dr put me on Benicar 20mg and Toprol XL 25mg to lower my blood pressure. I have a fast pulse too (always over 100). Will these meds lower my pulse also?

478554 tn?1208034407 You are correct, Benicar is an expensive drug, I am on 40 mg per day with 12.5 of HCT (Benicar HCT). Since there is no generic, my insurance also tries to block it's use, but they have to give it to you if your doctor provides the additional documentation, but it won't help the price. TGL's are easy to control, usually cutting back on empty carbs like those found in breads, pastas, sugars and processed foods will have a huge impact.
Avatar f tn I've been on Benicar HCT 40/12.5 for 3 years, it's the only BP med I've been on and it has worked wonders with no side effects. My BP is down to 110/70 from 150/90 and as I said, I have had absolutely no side effects to date. For me, it's a great med, but maybe not for you. There are many to choose from, just keep working with your doctor to find the one that works best for your situation.
159619 tn?1707018272 Just curious, I was started on Benicar HCT 40/12.5 about 3 or 4 years ago at a time when I was at my peak weight, well over 300 pounds, not taking very good care of myself and not exercising. My blood pressure was running around 140/85 at the time. I underwent some cardiac work ups due to some chest pain over that time period including a couple of Nuclear Stress Tests and Echos along with all the blood work that is usually done, all tests were always normal.
Avatar n tn Stopped taking Dyazide a few days ago, headache eased the next day, and was gone by the 2nd day without meds. She started taking Benicar HCT a over a year ago. From the start she felt rotten every day. Said she felt like she had to "make my legs" walk - always felt tired. Also had soreness in between her shoulder blades. Dr. said it was muscle soreness from exercise. She stopped taking Benicar HCT a month ago and felt great the following day.

Avatar f tn How old is he now and how well he manages to do his daily activities of living without an attendant? There are many causes for erectile dysfunction and also various treatment options depending on the age and cause of erectile dysfunction. Some of the causes are " Damage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common causes.
Avatar m tn When consulted about erectile dysfunction a professional doctor does not and need not take sexual orientation, religion or politics into consideration at all. All that matters is the person suffering from ED and how to get him right again. In your case you have classical performance anxiety. Cialis would help give you back some confidence. A better solution might be to take intercourse off the menu and not challenge yourself. No performance no anxiety if you follow.
Avatar f tn After 5 days of use, it lowered sex drive and made my erectile dysfunction way worse. I just need to know if this is at all permanent. Has anyone else had experiences with this? I only took it for 5 days so im not as worried but I just dont know at this point. Any help is really appreciated.
Avatar n tn t think your BP meds would do this. I too had HP, around 150/90 and started taking Benicar HCt 40/12.5, pretty much the same med you are on. My BP now runs 110/70, in fact it dropped almost immediately upon starting the meds with no side effects. Your BP has dropped considerably, but at 130 systolic you are still in the pre-hypertensive range and not yet down to a normal rate of 120/80 so I would not think your BP is doing this to you.
Avatar n tn I am not a health professional but have NEVER heard of masturbation causing erectile dysfunction. But if you are suffering guilt from your masturbation, then that could easily cause ED. But there are a slew of things that could also cause ED - but I really don't think masturbation is one of them. To silent23lamb - your issue could also be some sort of mental think - feelings of inadequacey or fear of not getting a hard erection. (The very fear itself can CAUSE what you fear.

Avatar f tn //www.healthline.com/health/erectile-dysfunction/cream But we do know that the medications available work well. Would that be something you'd try? And I believe there is something just approved over the counter for men and erectile dysfunction. I'd personally not use this if I didn't clear it with my doctor. https://www.health.harvard.

Avatar m tn This is rather basic, but you might wear briefs instead of boxer shorts for underwear. Then, always try to keep your penis pointing up toward your belly button throughout the day so that any erections will not cause bends or other harm to come to your organ.
