Possible Side Effects of Sildenafil
1. It may cause drowsiness, dizziness, fainting, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you use it with alcohol or certain medicines.
2.Patients with heart problems who use sildenafil may be at increased risk of heart-related side effects, including a heart attack or stroke.
3.Sildenafil may rarely cause a prolonged (more than 4 hours) or painful erection. Contact your doctor right away if you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours.
As patients with heart disease are at increased risk i will advice you to REDUCE YOUR CHOLESTEROL by doing EXERCISES and taking BALANCED DIET
