Initially, Viagra was developed and studied to help people with high blood pressure and angina. Erection problems are often the result of dysfunction of the vascular system, which causes critical pathologies.
Let’s find out how Viagra and hypertension are related and see if the drug can improve or aggravate existing vascular problems.
Does Viagra lower blood pressure?
This reaction of the body is possible, although not for everyone. And first of all, it is because Sildenafil reduces vascular resistance. This reaction mainly manifests in the pelvic area and to a lesser extent in other body parts. So, it is difficult to say that ED pills cause a system decrease in arterial tension for most men, although this is possible in some cases.
Can you take Viagra with low blood pressure?
The answer depends on the clinical indicators of your cardiovascular system and their change in different conditions:
- Under load.
- At rest.
You can start treatment if your blood pressure doesn’t deviate significantly from normal values.
Viagra and low blood pressure may be a contraindication to erectile dysfunction therapy if your condition qualifies as hypotension. Don’t use ED pills if your pressure indicators are less than 90 to 50. When in doubt about your blood pressure, you can measure it with a hand-held monitor or have it checked in a clinic.
Can you take Viagra if you have high blood pressure?
It is necessary to understand the clinical picture of the disorder to answer this question. In this situation, 2 scenarios are possible:
- Many men have minor problems with increased blood pressure. They may take Sildenafil-based pills, but after consultation with a qualified specialist.
- Viagra and high blood pressure is a contraindication to treatment for erectile problems if you have clinically confirmed hypertension (pressure of 170 to 110 or more).
Can you take Viagra with blood pressure medication?
In this case, there are many exceptions, so NEVER DO THIS unless you first consult your doctor.
The interaction of Viagra and blood pressure medications can have serious consequences for your well-being and your health as a whole. Don’t combine ED pills of any type with drugs containing the following ingredients:
- Doxazosin.
- Prazosin.
- Terazosin.
Note that these medicines may have different brand names. In any case, if you have problems with blood pressure (with the heart or blood vessels) and you are on medication treatment, don’t start taking PDE5 inhibitors on your own.
Conclusion
Sexual dysfunction and high or low arterial tension may be closely related conditions. You can treat them simultaneously (in most cases), but you should be careful and consult your doctor. If you’ve started taking ED pills, check your blood pressure for peace of mind.
