Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Erectile dysfunction is a very common problem and affecting most of the males after the age of 45-50 years.
Before going further I would like to ask few questions from you.
What medications are you taking?
Are you overweight?
Do you smoke and consume alcohol and if yes,then how much ?
Do you lead a very stressful life?
Do ypu sleep late in night?
Do you do any exercises ?
Have you been investigated for hypothyroidism,diabetes,lipid profile etc?
Have you consulted any doctor for this?
Since when you are having this problem?
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks

Hello,
Read your reply.
In fact erectile dysfunction ( ED ) is a multifactorial problem where the causes range from physical causes like high blood pressure and diabetes,psychological causes like stress,other reasons like use of high blood pressure medicines,lack of exercises,heavy weight,use of tobacco and alcohol.
No one particular cause is the reason for erectile dysfunction in a person.
In your case I feel following are the reasons....
Advancing age
High blood pressure,although controlled
Anti hypertensive medicine like Amlopin AT
Lack of exercises.
May be overweight 

Treatment involves....
Change of your blood pressure medicine 
Doing regular exercises 
Doing yoga,deep breathing exercises,prananayama 
Shedding your weight
Drinking pomegranate juice
Taking ashwagandha and ginkgo 
I am keeping use of VIAGRA at the end because although it is a very good drug for treating ED,a frequent use renders it lesser and lesser effective with prolonged use.
Consult your treating doctor for the use of VIAGRA.
Thanks
