Hello
Thanks for query.You have been taking drugs for hypertension and atrial fibrillation and now facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction .

Since none of the drugs that you are taking contain Nitrites there is no harm in taking Cialis .Only precaution you have to take is to start with smaller dose of 5mg and gradually increase it depending upon the response as far as hardness of penis on erection is concerned.

Discuss with your physician about to change other drug for prostate enlargement instead of Fenesteride as it has side effect of loss of libido which is one of the predisposing factor for Erectile Dysfunction .
