Hello
Welcome to HCM!!!
I would suggest you to repeatedly check cholesterol levels. People with cholesterol can develop erectile dysfunction as you already know. Anxiety can be treated as well. Ask your psychiatrist to treat the anxiety and then see. If no benefits with these then get you investigated for other reasons of ED
I hope this helps
