Jeffries, Ph.D. - 5/9/2004 Question sir, weight 100kg,male ,india I had never hpt. in past...but since few months I observe occ.rise of blood presser.I do not take any medicines .because it reduce sexual power of course I take all care and some useful herbal like garlic,methi,indian herb..Eventhough if I get occ. bp I take one pill and this is enough to solve problem..I do not need again such pill.. Is it good to take such occ.pill?(beta blocker with calcium chanel blocker like nefipdin)? mostly occ. bp rise due to strong tea and Jarda eating sometimes...any BP drug which not reduce sexual power? Answer I am having a little difficulty understanding the question but I'll try to answer anyway. Hypertension is a chronic condition and should be treated continuosly, not whenever it is noticed that it is high. Thus it can not be effectively managed by taking one pill occasionally. I do not recommend alternative therapies for hypertension because they have not been evaluated for effectiveness or log-term toxicity. Sexual side effects, most often impotency, are sometimes noted with antihypertensive medications but this effect is uncommon. Statistically, it is less frequently observed with diuretics, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. Add to this Answer Ask a Question | |
