Some drugs may cause impotence particularly the disgarded beta blockers.

Hypertension can lead to impotence because it weekens blood vessel walls. As far as hypertension drugs, I don't know. I do know my husband has been on hypertension drugs for 4 years now, with no problems.

Yes, there is. Hypertensive medications will dialate your blood vessels taking pressure off of them to lower the rate of blood pushing on the vessels themselves. That means, it will open up the vessels all over your body and you will have a hard time (no pun) sustaining an errection. Speak to your doc, because there are HTN meds that don't have that side effect. Godloveya, You old softie! (might as well smile about it!)

Hypertension can cause E.D. (erectile disfunction or impotence). Some hypertension drugs can also cause E.D. See this page for the way to cure high blood pressure (hypertension).

yes. Hypertention leads to thicking of artieries and ristrict the blood flow to nerves. Most of the beta blockers use to treat hypertention leads to Impotency in men.
