Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query. I can understand your concern. You may be finding it difficult to get an erection as side effects of medication you are on. Most of blood pressure drugs and chemo is known of this side effect. Do consult your treating doctor for the same. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of erectile dysfunction, I would like to assess the veins/arteries and nerves of the penis and the status of prostate and the male hormones related; therefore before any comments you need some physical examination and USG/Doppler study of the region. Please revert back to us with these data...
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
