Brief Answer:
2 possible things you can try
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can always reduce the dose of simvastatin. Get a lipid profile. If it's normal, I would suggest reduced doses.
As for diltizem, I think you can continue that. It's essential for the heart.
You will have to try sildenafil. however, be aware that the medicine has effects on heart.
