Common Questions and Answers about Viagra and the heart
viagra
Viagra(Sildenafil) is a vasodilator (that is, a drug that dilates blood vessels), and consequently it lowers the systolic blood pressure (the "top" number in blood pressure measurements) by an average of 8 mmHg. In the majority of patients with heart disease, including most of those being treated with antihypertensive drugs, this is not a problem.
) I should have indicated it is my husband who is taking heart meds that discourage taking viagra. Carvedilol strengthens the heart muscle while viagra dilates the blood vessels to allow more blood to flow. The two drugs would work against one another. I am just trying to find out if occasional use of viagra would be safe or a risk to take.
Definitely check in with your health care provider before using viagra and heart medication. Viagra was accidentally discovered to work for ED when being studied for it's affects on the heart. They always ask you if you are taking this. Men taking ED medications can not take nitrates as a general rule.
My husband is on the medication Suboxone and I was needing to know if he can take Viagra with this medicine? We don't want him to take it and go into withdraws or anything so, are the two compatible?
Sexual activity is not recommended in patients with heart failure, unstable angina, recent heart attacks, abnormal heart rates and changes in blood pressure levels.
Sildenafil exerts systemic vasodilating action causing a lowering of blood pressure. This effect is not clinically significant and does not cause any complaints in most of the patients.
If sex toys cannot help you, it is Viagra to the rescue! It is amazing how Viagra helped me. I expected to see and feel the side-effects of Viagra. I did see blue lights, my sinuses got gloggy, and I had a mild case of heartburn, but nothing too severe to stop taking Viagra. I found that the pill took about 40 to 45 minutes to get me ready.
If your doctor recommends Viagra, be sure to buy Viagra from a pharmacy. Hundreds of online ads say get Viagra cheap.
However, I have experienced bad chest pains in the best, especially after taking viagra. I think I had a heart attack and my heart is damaged being the reason i get electrial disturbances in my heart. Most doctors I talk to though shine me on. Sometimes I get the feeling like i am annoying them or wasing their time. This is the impression they give me. The one doctor that did the echocardiogram said he wanted me to do a stress/echo, but did not want to induce an arrythmia because I was afraid.
Please help if you can,
About 3 years ago I had a few fainting episodes. Had a scan, tilt test, everything was fine. Doctors said they can't explain it.
Fast forward 3 years I noticed I stopped getting morning erections. Within 2 months found it hard to get erections at all ( even alone) . My parenter broke up with me. No morning erections at all now and really struggle with erections. They are no full and as soon as I finish it goes down within seconds.
I take pre-workout supplements (Muscle Pharm Assault) which contain L-Arginine and Beta Alinine (nitric oxide), which I read doesnt go well when taken at the same time as Viagra. In addition, I take Creatine and Whey Protein as well.
I am not planning on taking them at the same time though. Could you advise if it is safe to take these on the days when I am not having Viagra. Also, how long do I need to wait before I can take them.
Please try Viagra if you are a woman who has MS. The study for efficacy of Viagra in women which is currently in progress is a study for sexual enhancement for women. So it has nothing to do with MS. Viagra increases blood flow and it helps a lot. It will drop your blood pressure and you don't want it to drop to a dangerous level, so you need to monitor it. Start with the minimum effective dose which is 25mg and see if it does something for you.
Generally the only reason to be on Viagra is if you are on the older side in years and have had some of these problems and they can't be fixed. But older folks usually are more concerned with sex with a partner, so I'm just wondering, do you have sex with others, how old are you, and how did you get a prescription for Viagra if you're a young guy who mostly masturbates at this point in your life. The main cause of ED are mental issues.
It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine? Are there are any potential contra indications in that Viagra should not be taken by a person who takes L-Arginine? If so, is the contraindication just for that day? In other words, would I be safe if I did not take L-Arginine on the day I took Viagra?
These medications increase blood flow to the penis by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). The most common side effects of Viagra and the other PDE5 inhibitors are flushing and headache. PDE5 drugs can cause dangerously low blood pressure if they are taken with nitroglycerin or other nitrate medications that are used to treat chest pain and heart disease.
In patients that cannot tolerate PDE5 inhibitors there are other treatments available.
While you may be a candidate for the drugs as they do help in the recovery (especially if you never had any erectile dysfunction before the surgery), these drugs would also have side effects and may be contraindicated in the presence of other conditions like heart disease and run contrary to other medications. The nature of the surgery is also important, as the proof of treatment effect was conducted for men who had nerve sparing surgery.
