My husband had a heart attack last June, he is only 40. His doctor put him on blood pressure pills and he had the same problem as you because of it. He could get an erection but it went away. Once his blood pressure stabilized, his body got used to having lower blood pressure, his erections are almost 100% back to normal. This was a big problem for him, having a very high sex drive and all. Before his body got used to a lower bp his doctor gave him Viagra. We used to laugh about it before his heart attack, but not anymore. If taking a pill could restore his sex life, then he was willing to take the thing. He figured who would know anyway. It wasn't his fault that he had this problem and nothing he could do about it. After he got over the shame our sex life returned to normal. Just something for you to think about and maybe discuss with your doctor.

This is one of the side effects of the drugs, which you are taking; it's quite a high dose. You may be able to take something else to help with ED but talk to your doctor about this.

been there
have your doctor adjust your current meds and if that does not work ask him about viagra or levitra (which might be safer) and if they are safe for you
meds that lower blood pressure do effect your ability to get hard so talk to your doctor

my ex husband was on blood pressure tabs and also a beta blocker and he was impotent for years.eventually he had to use viagra.
eventually his doctor changed him from the beta blocker to and acer inhibitor and the problem has resolved itself.

It is the tablets all blood pressure tablets do that and you might also get swollen legs and feet through water retention caused by them.

I would try Atacand. It has less side effects. It takes trial and error to find a blood pressure combo you can live with.

Go back to your Docs - there are other tablets he can change you to - this is a common problem with some BP tablets
