What Causes High BP, Lethargy And Low Sex Drive?

I am 34 yrs old male, one fine morning I checked my BP and it was showing 180/120!! I was amazed to see that, because i have been trying to lead life always with discipline, as regular Gym goer for 1 hour 20 mins or so every morning, no habit of smoking and drinking ever in my life, even not much stressed in my Professional/Personal life too. However, after medication for 20 days (One Ditide 1/2 in the morning and One Amlokind AT before Lunch) now its come down to 150/100.But now my problem is, i am feeling lethargic almost all the time with lack of sexual desire, though Doctor advised me to stop Gym for a while...now please help me what should i do to get rid all of these problem and lead healthy , happy life??? .....Neel

Hi neel, many a times when your BP is remaining on the higher side, your body gets adapted to it, so when meds are to normalise you may have symptoms as what you described transiently. However AT component and ditite both may cause weakness and decrease serial drive and performance, otherwise too I will be more happy if you are put on ace inhibitors plus diuretic combination instead of ditide, considering long term benefit as proved by the drug. Also decrease salt intake, I will recommend you going to gym and lastly because you are young do the necessary work up to rule out secondary causes of hypertension
