Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sidenafil or Viagra is a phosphodiestrase inhibitor used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension.

Although these are relatively safe drugs, especially if taken in prescribed dosage, its main concern are the cardiac and circulatory side effects.

It can cause hypotension or reduced blood pressure, irregular heart rate and in some cases even the heart attack.

That is the reason it is not indicated for a man with the known cardiac problems.

In your case, as you are already having irregular heart rate, and you are taking a beta blocker to control it, I will strongly suggest you to NOT to take VIAGRA as it can have serious side effects.

If you need further information, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi

To name viagra as the cause, the time of onset of ectopic need to be known. I mean, did your irregular heart beat start roughly at the same time when viagra was started?
If the irregular heart beat was present before, then this is not the culprit, although what ever is the cause Viagra can make it worse.

A good thing is you are going for echocardiography, which should tell us about the structural anatomy of the heart. It will help in finding the cause of irregular heart rate.

Do let me know your echocardiography report.

Let me know if you have any other queries in the meanwhile.

Regards
