Hi Mike, thanks for your question.
Sometimes high blood pressure medications can cause erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the medications you take (lisinopril, amlodipine) are not among those that typically cause ED. Your history of back surgeries is interesting, as sometimes nerve damage or herniated discs can contribute to this problem. One thing is for sure -- smoking definitely contributes to ED. The biggest thing you can do, not only for your overall health, but also to help treat ED, is to stop smoking. If this does not help, further consultation with a urologist or psychiatrist is recommended.
