Hello
Thanks for query .

You are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since last 6 months .

Hypertension and high levels of cholesterol are known to cause erectile dysfunction

You need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get following basic tests done to establish cause for your ED
1) Blood Sugar levels to rule out Diabted
2) Serum Testosterone levels free and Totl
3) Thyroid Hormone assessment
4) Color Doppler Ultrasound scanning of penis to rule out Vasculogenic cause like arterial insufficiency or venous leak as a cause for your Ed.

Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests .

Taking Sildenafil (Viagra) or Cialis as on demand will help to get good hard sustainable erection and to have enjoyable sex.
