Brief Answer:
Erectile dysfunction(ED) can be treated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
In persons with hypertension erectile dysfunction is common problem. The medicines you are taking olmesartan , hydrochlorthiazide, clonazepam and zolpidem would not affect erection.
It is good that you do not smoke and not drink alcohol.
Treatment of erectile dysfunction:
5- PDE inhibitor group of medicines like sildenafil or tadalafil are used. One of them should be used 2 hours prior to sex. They cause headache, stuffy nose nausea and gastric discomfort like common side effects. Proper physical check-up of cardiac system should be done by a doctor before starting the same. These are prescription medicines and you need to consult doctor/psychiatrist/sexologist for the prescription.
Tadalafil is preferred in patients with blood pressure.
You can use another medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus)is very helpful in my patients. It has shown improvement in 50-60% patients of mine with ED.You should take it after meal twice a day. If you feel some improvement in 15 days you should continue for at least 1 month. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product.
Serum testosterone level should be checked once. If it is low, supplement can be given.
Diabetes should be ruled out by blood sugar check up.
There are some natural lifestyle measures which help to improve blood flow to penis and overall sexual performance.
- The most important factor is healthy heart. Blood is pumped in to body by heart.So regular exercise and avoidance of fatty fast food are important measures to prevent heart disease. Regular walking, swimming or running overall improves blood flow to whole body circulation including penis and keep the mind fresh.
- Good healthy food is also an important aspect. Bananas, Garlic, dry fruits(they contains vitamins), eggs, cow milk, cow butter are good food which may help in erectile dysfunction.
If I were your treating doctor I would like to start tadalafil and tetrafol plus.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
