i have recently expirenced first time problems with erection. this happens 2 times in last one week. overal desire has also decreased then before. i was also experiencing problem with urination. (but just mild straining) nothing big.. or troublesome from last few months. which if i drink water and have regular walk goes ok.
My cardiologist has just changed my current medicine from concor 2.5 (once) to telma 40(once) after i explained him above. My all reports of blood, urine, liver function, kidney function, 2D echo, TMT has come absolutely normal.

Dear Kavit Metha,
It is a very good idea to change Concor to Telma. Usually I try to avoid to prescribe beta blockers (medications such as Concor) to young men.
You should take Telma and see if the dose is appropriate for you, as it is quite individual.
You should strictly follow healthy lifestyle, and after some time try to reduce the dose of your medication. In some young patients, we succeed to withdraw medications gradually with healthy lifestyle.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
