Question :
I needed to chart my blood pressure for a few days. It averages 115-120 over 75 with an average heart rate of 80, so I couldn't immediately respond to the doctors need for that information. So now here it is.

Hello Sir

Your blood pressure readings a very marginally on the lower side and your heart rate is normal.

If you are not experiencing any symptoms like dizziness or fatigue then you can continue all your bp medicine along with viagra but if you feel any of these symptoms then it's advisable that you should consult your treating doctor and get your Bp meds adjusted as per blood pressure.

Hope to have been helpful
