Had A Very High Blood Pressure Reading. On Ranitidine. Now Having Erectile Dysfunction. No Pain, Discharge. Suggestions?

Dear Sir,
As of late I have been experiencing a bit of a problem. This past friday (May 10th 2013) I went to my doctor and had a very high blood pressure reading. I was strapped to an EKG to evaluate my heart and was told the lining of my heart was irritated. So my doctor scheduled an echocardi (dont know the correct spelling) and a stress test for me on next wednesday. Until then I was prescribed Ranitidine 150 MG for my stomach twitching/minor pain and chest pains and Ondansetron HCL 4 MG for the nausea associated with it. The medicine indeed works but I cant help to notice that since ive been taking it, I have noticed what I assume to be erectile dysfunction. I personally think I am a hypochondriac because any health issue I get I dwell on it until I know for a fact its gone. While experiencing ED for the past 3 days, last night as I was about to shower I noticed my left testicular vein or chord (dont know the term) was swollen, but it has seemed to go down when I woke up this morning. Im still experiencing the ED and it seems like my penis stays at this shrunken state throughout the day. No pain experienced in the scrotum or penis, no burning when I urinate, no discharge, and no bleeding. I am extremely scared because I have no idea whats going on with me! Lately my health is the ONLY thing that stays on my mind for the entire day, even while im doing other things! Im praying this isnt any form of STD or deeper illness that im not familiar with. Please someone help me!!! :(

Hello
YOUR panic regarding the ED IS only aPSYCHOLOGICAL ONE .You should get rid of fear regading high BP and smaller size of penis .most of the causes for ED is anxiety and fear only.
