Suggest Methods To Increase Libido & Penile Erection

For my high blood pressure, I am taking medicines for the last 15 years; I'm 66 year old. About a few months' back I changed the medicine for this from '5 mg Lisinopril daily morning' (being used for about 10 years; for fear of that being the probable cause for reduction in libido and erectile disfunction suffered during this period) to 'Telsar 40 (mg)' every night. Yesterday night I missed taking this tablet, yet today morning when I got my blood pressure checked it was found tobe 120/90.

Can I somehow think of doing away taking medicine and how I can improve my libido and penile erection?

Hi, At your age it is not unusual to find a reduction in libido and strength of erection and it is not likely to be only due to BP medication.
You can try getting your Serum (Total) Testosterone levels estimated at around 8 am in the morning, and if that is on the lower side, supplementation with Injection or Transdermal testosterone could boost your libido, and if your erections are still not good enough, you can try tablets like Cialis which should be helpful in majority of patients.
