Hello,

It is more likely to be due to anxiety rather than any disease. Please consult your physician for anti-anxiety medicnes. You can avaoid similar episodes by keeping your self relaxed and stop worrying about impending episodes.

thank you.
there is a common fear in public that sildenafil causes heart problem.
but it is not true.
it causes some harmful effect on already diseased heart.
so you need not to worry.
if it is worsening then avoid sildenafil & take other measures.
take care.
