Hi doc have been diagnosed with af, and am taking medication. I also have bp which is also being controlled with medication. My medicines are flecarite 100, prolometxl 25 and ixorola 20 in the morning and flecarite 50, prolomet 25 in the night after I started on this medication I cannot get a good erection which is affecting my family life. I am 55 years old. Is this because of some of the medicines I am taking? Am afraid to take on viagra or other tabs. Is there any problem in taking them.

Erection problems are also known as: * erectile dysfunction (ed) * impotence * sexual dysfunction in your case I believe you have developed symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Ed occurs when a man can't get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. In most cases the causes of this problem could be - stress, relationship strain, low self-confidence, hypertension, excessive masturbation etc. There is a possibility there is some issue with the blood supply. If required we might get few tests done. But nothing to worry as the issue can be fixed with proper treatment and medications.
