Hello- unfortunately, many high blood pressure medications have been linked to low libido and erectile dysfunction. This intolerable side effect makes it hard for a great deal of men to want to stay on their prescription program. It?s like making them have to choose between saving either their life or their penis! some urologists would even recommend penile implants as a solution for hypertension patients. It is also crucial to manage your blood pressure by making a lifestyle change. To reduce high blood pressure avoid smoking, eat a whole foods diet, control your salt intake, limit your daily alcohol intake, maintain a healthy weight, exercise with regular & moderate activity, and take effective ayurveda supplements.
