Suggest Treatment For High BP And Erectile Dysfunction
Question: Hi. My concern is that I'm an extremely healthy and active male, with most everything great except for high blood pressure issues. I've been on 5 mg daily Amlodipine fro about 8 months and that seems to handle it, except that I'd prefer non-pharma solutions. Additionally, this treatment seems to have affected my erectile performance...not as dependable and can be down right disappointing. Any thoughts...I'm at a great weight, exercise doing cross training and my Cholesterol is awesome...80/40. Any thoughts. I've never prior had erectile issues. Thank you for your response in advance
