Hello.
This is a forum for discussing psychological and emotional issues related to erection concerns. If you wish detailed medical information, post your question in the urology expert forum: www.medhelp.org/forums/show/113.
Viagra affects the vascular system, so low blood pressure could be impacted by this drug. I'm wondering whether you've pursued non-pharmacological options? Many erection concerns aren't physiological in nature, but rather the result of behavioral or emotional issues. Of course, if there are, in fact, physiological issues affecting your erections, and you need pharmacological assistance, it would be of benefit to see a urologist for an exam to see whether you're a good candidate non-Viagra alternatives.
