Question: 48yr old male..
DH has SVT and is treated by Cardiologist. In the past he's had issues with medication. He went through a short time of having a hard time getting an erection or keeping it. He was taking Verapamil 80mg and Metropolol 25mg and then 12.5mg. Every few months he would have a dizzy episode and then nausea and he would feel zapped of energy for a few days. The last time that happened was almost 3 months ago. He lost 15 pounds in a couple of months, workplace was/is stressful, dealing with his elderly.mother. His regular Dr prescribed Zoloft/generic form and his Cardiologist took him off Verapamil and upped his Metroplol to 25mg.
Forgot about this he had another dizziness episode and went in to his Dr and that was when they finally gave him the diagnosis of SVT. They want to see if the 25mg of Metroplol will help and if not go in through his groin and add another lead.
Last week he started having issue with not being able to ejaculate through intercourse or by hand. He gets close but can't quite jump.the hurdle. He was able to to on Monday and all through the week we tried with no results and finally Sat and Sun day he did, but yesterday was another No Go.
Question
Do you think it's due to his medication and is there an alternative to the Zoloft and Metroplol?
Should we wait to discuss it to see if he needs the procedure done with the extra lead?
Should he just go to his regular Dr and have them try a different antidepressant?
Is this considered Anorgasmia and can it be treated by medication?
Is it better to make an appointment with an Urologist?
Basically what direction should we take this in?
