What Causes Erectile Dysfunction And Shortness Of Breath?

I am 72 years old. By the Grace of God I do not suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes, but tests conducted by a Urologist confirmed that my prostate gland is moderately enlarged.(32 gms). There was a small stone in the ureter but the ultrasound report now confirmed that the stone is no longer there. After passing urine after the ultrasound test, the residual urine was significant (136 ml). The bladder does not empty fully and the stream of urine is slow. Apart from increased frequency, (getting up 3 to 4 times at night to pass urine) the urgency is such that most of the time I must reach the toilet quickly otherwise some drops will ooze out. The problem of leakage (dribbling) is now more frequent. I have so far used homeopathic medicines for this problem with no relief.
I am also suffering from Erectile Dysfunction for the last couple of months. Prior to that I was quite normal.
Furthermore I have catarrh with shortness of breath continuous and profuse discharge of thick sputum (phlegm) every time I cough.
