Whether it be the job, post ablation anxiety, or the fact that I developed hypertension. 140/85-90. My MD treated me with Norvasc. I noticed that this caused me an increase in anxiety attacks. I see that that is one of the side effects of Norvasc. But I definitely felt the increase in anxiety frequency; So I began taking Xanax a couple times a month. My BP was still uncontrolled on the norvasc. Mr internist added Klonopin 0.5 mg twice daily.
We usually start patients on long acting oral nitrates (imdur 30 mg daily) because it starts acting fast and then transition the patient to norvasc which takes about 4 days to work. In addition to the nitrates and the norvasc, we also use statins and antidepressants as well. The latter have been shown to help as well.
There are 2 other medications that work well for angina that I would usually start prior to Ranexa which are Imdur (Isosorbide mononitrate) or Norvasc (Amlodipine) which can both help with angina and coronary vasospasm (spasm of the large and small vessels which give blood to the heart) which you may possible have.
When it hurts I try to tolerate it so I can please him. But he is a horn dog and pushy. Then it came to a point, I started reducing sexual activity. I would tell him I'm having an outbreak and didn't want to fool around. he would say it doesn't matter cause he has herpes too. This went on for a lonnng time. I would explain my concerns and he would blow me off. We have many arguments about this and I am at my end, enough to end this relationship.
Till I was 60yrs my libido was fantastic and I was enjoying my sex fully.Suddenly after that I could see I loosing interest in sexual activity.My erection is fine and normally erected in the early morning.I am not getting the erge or impulse to initiate the sexual game.My wife is also quite frustrated but quite understanding.
Pl advise what has gone wrong and how to regain my libido.I am not suffering from any desease as such.I am healthy and do my exersise regularly.
So I have been sexual active since I was 17+ and I am 25 now and I have never felt ant sexual please or have an orgasm. Even though I am pregnant I was hoping that maybe due to the hormonal changes I'd at least have an increase but absolutely nothing I can literally go years without sex, I use to feel horny but not anymore Idk what's going on with it and I find it disgusting and embarrassing to tel this doc this kinda situation at my age.
I have sought answers from many places, but sexual dysfunction is SO vague and people seem to take the cookie cutter approach to treatment. My husband has difficulty maintaining an erection (which I realize is part of the MS). Viagra and Cialis have not helped. Despite all of this, we still have a satisfying intimate relationship. But the real problem is that we are trying to get pregnant and 5 times out of 6, he is unable to ejaculate.
When you say sexual dysfunction ,do you refer to an erectile and ejaculation problem?
Do you experience any pain or deformity during erection or ejaculation?
When you say "no erection", does this happen 100% of the time?
Do you still get night time erections ?
Have you any previous infections or prior surgeries or instrumentation of the genitalia?
Any recent pain or problems with urination?
I'm 48 year old male, I had very high untreated hypertension for I don't know how long. I went to the doctor and he prescribed Metoprol 100mg., Lisinopril 25mg., & Norvasc 10mg. daily. Also 1/2 hydrochlorithizide 25mg every other day. Before this there were never ED problems, but since there has been. Are there any other medications to lower blood pressure without this side effect? As of now the hypertension is under control with these meds.
I take 5mg Norvasc with 100 mg of a beta blocker(Lopressor) and Isosorbide (Nitrate) and Tricor every morning without any problems. But I am confused as to why Norvasc and Cardizem. They are both calcium channel blockers. Maybe someone can enlighten me on that. Have you talked to your pharmacist about any concerns?
I plan at this point to wait and see if his sexual function does return and when it does, to point out (ever so subtely) that maybe the problem was related to Effexor rather than his age and it might help him focus on the benefits of being off Effexor while experiencing withdrawal.
Again, thanks for letting me know Effexor related sexual dysfunction is not permanent. I will let you all know how it goes.
However, my wife, (not the same woman as the possible exposure) also has been feeling sick and went to the Doctor. She had high liver enzymes and and an enlarged liver. She tested negative for Hepatitis but had a positive ANA. Is there any concern for HIV or anyother STD. Please help, I'm shaking in boots over here!
9 170 but my blood pressure is always fine at home i do suffer from anxiety but it goes thru the roof when i see a doctor or go to the ER i am 27 years old, i have to see a doc once a week for another condition, but it never fails my pulse and BP rises very high in doctors settings, once i come home both my pulse and pressure is fine again , my worry and problem is how much damage is being done to my heart when my blood pressure spikes like this once a week?
It will help both your diabetes and the erectile dysfunction. Likewise, if you smoke, quit. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constriction and stay constricted for hours after your smoke a cigarette. That damages your vessels and can affect your ability to achieve and keep an erection.
See your regular doctor for a complete and thorough check up. Make sure your blood pressure is less than 120/80, check your HgbA1C to make sure your blood sugar is stable and under control.
My 84 year old wife with Parkinson's and congestive heart failure has extremely labile blood pressure. She can have a systolic bp of 84 which leads to fainting and an hour later a systolic of 150!. Her bp meds are Norvasc, 5 mg, 1/day, Coreg, 40 mg, 1/day; Enalapril, 20 mg, 2/day.
She has had 4 fainting episodes in the past 15 months and has been very lucky that she has not seriously hurt herself as she fell.
