Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Viagra or related drugs should be best avoided in people suffering from uncontrolled high blood pressure as well as people suffering from Ischemic heart diseases.
So, if you are hypertensive and wish to takes Viagra, first of all you should get your blood pressure under well control and if it is under control, then you should get your cardiac evaluation done to be sure that you don't have any cardiac issues.
If your are clear of cardiac issues, then you may take viagra.
