can high blood pressure meds help Erectile dysfuction ?

[vinc2097]

Male 31, very fit and active, good diet, i dont smoke, no drugs, no diabetes, no cholesterol, all blood tests are fine, no known sickness, no pelvic floor problem, and my test is at good levels right now.

Every time i saw my doctor over the last years he took my blood pressure and told me yes it was high but he said it was probably just a white coat syndrome and was not concerned.

Last week i went at a private clinic and paid for a high quality 24h ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring). I just got my results and holy shit, i think i just found the root of my problem. In the last decade my feet and hands (extremities, just like the Penis) were always so cold, i should have suspected chronic hypertension way sooner.. My doctor is useless.

My blood pressure is almost never under 140. Average is at 150-160 and i have some spikes at 180, and even a scary one at 215 (for this one the nurse i saw told me it must be a false reading..) So i will bring these results to a doctor soon to be put on BP meds.

But i keep reading online how BP meds often make erectile problem worse (i'm now close to impotence so it cant be really worse right now lol..) If my erectile problem is due to HBP and BP meds make my BP go back to normal, why would it not help my erection ? (instead of making it worse)

Thank you for any help !

ARB's and calcium channel blockers rarely cause ED.

High blood pressure is a symptom of something else going on. I believe it's in your best interest to find the "cause" of your high blood pressure.

It could be as simple as a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Check ferritin, iron saturation.

Agree with System Lord. At your young age you need to see if there is underlying medical cause here (vs. stiffening arteries in older adults). That being said, that needs to be treated at those high levels. Stroke becomes a real risk > 180.

I delt with this issue too. even 80mg telmisartan (least s/x) barely touched it.
from that high BP you probably looking at multiple pills, which is going to make your life miserable. I definitely start with an ARB (telmisartan titrate up to 80mg). in my exp there is no good second choice BP meds. maybe cialis 10-20mg might move the needle tiny bit, plus help with ED.
you need to look at lifestyle changes, i got my BP under control 100%. med free now. took 1 year. diet changes, exercise, sun exposure etc all play a role
