Brief Answer:
How do you feel? Are you strong enough(Physically)?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this these stents. I understand your desire to use viagra. However, sex is a physically demanding activity that could precipitate heart attack if you are not healthy enough. For this, I will like to know whether you are able to climb up stairs without difficulties. If this is possible, please go on and take viagra. If this is not the case, I will suggest that you stay away from viagra until you are again physically strong to withstand increased physical activity especially during sex without endangering your heart.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
