Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 49 year old man who has been sexually active. I have 4 wonderful kids. I started taking Amlodopine 5mg and HCTZ 25mg for High Blood Pressure. About a month ago I realized that I lost my erection. Stopped the medicine - I have gain erection but the problem is that penetration. At penetration the penis become placcid. I have erections from time to time. Is this a physical issue or psychological issue due to anxiety? I am so afraid of bedroom because I know my wife is not happy with me. Please help...

Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
Antihypertensive drugs can cause erection problem many times.
I advice you to take sildenafile citrate tablet under your doctors guidance.
Doctors guidance is necessary as this is the drug which affects the vascular system and affects the blood pressure.
Please do good foreplay before you do sex. This can help you achieve good erection and penetrattion.
Prepare self confidence that you can perform good sex. This is very important and makes you enable good sex.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
