Just a question for men on blood pressure medication, does it effect your erections.
Will be going on it and was wondering about any side affects.

Everyone reacts differently to medication. But in my opinion Metoprolol is nasty. For years I was taking 40mg of Diovan and ½ tablet (25mg) of Atenolol daisy. Then last fall for some reason I started having skipped heart beats and I times rapid beats. I was a real fucking pain, so my cartologist referred me to a specialist. She put me on Metoprolol (25mg) and at the same time she asked of I was taking Magnesium and had me start 400mg daily.


Magnesium took care of 95+ percent of the skipped beats. Metoprolol made my libido go to near zero and erections were only about 10-20% of what they were before. Plus Metoprolol made be feel tired all the time. She switched me back to Atenolol ½ tablet twice daily. Things improved within two weeks. Libido was back to 70% of normal (what normal when you’re a senior) and erections were 70-80% better too.

I take metoprolol and lisinopril, and they do affect my ability to sustain erections. However, 25mg of Viagra (sudenafil) works very well. I am able to maintain very hard erections after taking it, and the effects can last for several hours.

I too take the low dose of lisinopril. Have for a few years now. Blood pressure is normal and erections are still fine. Good luck!
