Thanks for putting up this question on health care magic.If i had similar patient referring to my clinic i would have continued medicine for blood pressure. I may have changed his medication to some other medicine if he experiences any side effect as in your case. Also i would like to start him on medication for erectile dysfunction if required after checking his blood sugar profile which is usually impaired in such cases.Hope i have solved your query.
