Brief Answer:
Erectile Dysfunction that you have is not due to Metoprolol

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
You are known to have hypertension and taking Metoprolol 590 mg daily and facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since very recently .

At the outset let me state that Erectile Dysfunction that you have is not due to medication but primarily related to hypertension itself and age related atherosclerosis that also involves penile arteries leading to reduced blood flow to erectile tissue in penis .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get color Doppler Ultrasound Scan of the penis done to establish and confirm the diagnosis .

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

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
