Vitamin E is good but when medication causes this problem there is not a lot you can do. Discuss this side effect with your doctor! Being a nurse i know this is a common problem associated with quite a few medications. Especially those used to treat heart problems and highblood pressure. Some times it just takes patience and time. Good Luck and really be sure you talk to your doctor. He or She may be able to find a alternate medication for you.

Get your diabetes under control if it isn't. Some of the erectile dysfunction medications might be helpful, like  viagra. I don't suggest taking herbal supplements that claim to help this problem. The concentration of the active ingredient can greatly vary as they are not regulated much so you don't know just how much you are getting. They can also interact with any Rx medication you may take. You really need to see a dr about this.I know its embarrassing to talk face to face about this issue but its nothing to be ashamed of,its very common,especially with men who have diabetes or high blood pressure.. Believe me, its nothing that the dr hasn't seen or heard before. No need to suffer in silence. Good luck to you.

"I have been on Toprol XL (metaprolol succinate), a beta blocker, for almost three years. Like many others I was having trouble maintaining erections, when finally last year I got up the nerve to mention it to one of my Drs. He acted like he had been expecting me to bring it up at some point, and gave me samples of Viagra to take. My only regret is that I did not mention it to him sooner. I feel like I'm thirty again.\nI am very happy now with the results I receive from both of these drugs. Talk to your Dr about it. I'm positive he is aware of problems caused by beta blockers, and should work with you to eliminate those problems.", Mat from NY.\n\nRead about Viagra, Cialis, Levitra - treatment for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment http://www.edpills.net/article_viagra_cialis_levitra.php\n\nA wide variety of options exist for treating erectile dysfunction. They include everything from medications and simple mechanical devices to surgery and psychological counseling. The cause and severity of your condition are important factors in determining the best treatment or combination of treatments for you. You and your doctor may also want to consider how much money you're willing to spend and the personal preferences of you and your partner. If erectile dysfunction is the result of a medical condition, the cost of treatment may be covered by insurance.\n\nOral medications\nThree oral medications are available to treat ED. These include:\n\n* Sildenafil (Viagra)\n* Tadalafil (Cialis)\n* Vardenafil (Levitra)\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra in 1998, and it became the first oral medication for erectile dysfunction on the market. Since then, doctors have written millions of prescriptions for the blue, diamond-shaped tablets. But Viagra is no longer the only pill that treats this condition. Levitra and Cialis are two other options.\n\nViagra, Levitra and Cialis work in much the same way. Chemically known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, these drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood and allows a natural sequence to occur — an erection in response to sexual stimulation. These medications don't automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence.\n\nThese medications share many similarities, but they have differences as well. They vary in dosage, duration of effectiveness and possible side effects. Other distinctions — for example, which drug is best for certain types of men — aren't yet known. No study has directly compared these three medications.\n\nAlthough these medications can help many people, not all men can or should take them to treat erectile dysfunction. If you've had a heart attack, stroke or life-threatening heart rhythm during the last six months, don't take these medications. If you've been told that sexual activity could trigger a cardiac event, discuss other options with your doctor. In addition, don't take Viagra, Levitra or Cialis with nitrate medications, such as the heart drug nitroglycerin. The combination of these medications, which work to widen (dilate) blood vessels, can cause dizziness, low blood pressure, and circulation and heart problems.\n\nDon't expect these medications to fix your impotence immediately, because that's not always the case. Dosages may need adjusting. Or you may need to alter when you take the medication. Before taking any medication, make sure to discuss with your doctor its potential benefits and side effects.\n\n\nNon-surgical ED Treatment Treatment Sex Therapy\n...

A significant number of men develop impotence from psychological causes that can be overcome. When a physiological cause is treated, subsequent self-esteem problems may continue to impair normal function and performance. Qualified therapists (e.g., sex counselors, psychotherapists) work with couples to reduce tension, improve sexual communication, and create realistic expectations for sex, all of which can improve erectile function. Psychological therapy may be effective in conjunction with medical or surgical treatment. Sex therapists emphasize the need for men and their partners to be motivated and willing to adapt to psychological and behavioral modifications, including those that result from medical or surgical treatment.\n\nMedical Treatment Oral Medication Oral medications used to treat erectile dysfunction include selective enzyme inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil Viagra , vardenafil HCl [Levitra], tadalafil [Cialis]) and yohimbine (Yohimbine, Yocon).\n\nSelective enzyme inhibitors are available by prescription and may be taken up to once a day to treat [5]ED. They improve partial erections by inhibiting the enzyme that facilitates their reduction and increase levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP, a chemical factor in metabolism), which causes the smooth muscles of the penis to relax, enabling blood to flow into the corpora cavernosa. Patients taking nitrate drugs (used to treat chest pain) and those taking alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia) should not take selective enzyme inhibitors.\n\nMen who have had a heart attack or stroke within the past 6 months and those with certain medical conditions (e.g., uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe low blood pressure or liver disease, unstable angina) that make sexual activity inadvisable should not take [6]Cialis®. Dosages of the drug should be limited in patients with kidney or liver disorders.\n\nViagra is absorbed and processed rapidly by the body and is usually taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before intercourse. Results vary depending on the cause of [7]erectile dysfunction, but studies have shown that Viagra is effective in 75% of cases. It helps men with erectile dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus (57%), spinal cord injuries (83%), and radical prostatectomy (43%).\n\nIn clinical studies, Levitra has been shown to work quickly, provide consistent results, and improve sexual function in most men the first time they take the drug. It also has shown to be effective in men of all ages, in patients with diabetes mellitus, and in men who have undergone radical prostatectomy. Cialis has been shown in clinical trials to stay in the body longer than the other selective enzyme inhibitors. It promotes erection within 30 minutes and enhances the ability to achieve erection for up to 36 hours.\n\nhttp://www.edpills.net/article_viagra_cialis_levitra.php

By improving sexual health do you mean a drug to treat erectile dysfunction?  That is what I am going to assume, so I hope I am answering your question.  Cialis adverse reactions and side effects: headache, nasal congestion, hypotension, dyspepsia, priapism, flushing, back pain, limb pain, myalgia.  Viagra: headache, dizziness, abnormal vision (color tinge to vision, abnormal sensitivity to light, blurred vision),  nasal congestion, diarrhea, dyspepsia, priapism, urinary tract infection, flushing, rash, and the biggies MI (heart attack), cardiovascular collapse, and sudden DEATH.  I chose to use these two examples because they are both pretty well known names to the public.  If you are having problems talk to your doctor.  It could be because of a certain medicine you are taking or a medical condition that is treatable.  I am not saying these drugs aren't helpful or shouldn't be used.  For some people they are great.  You do need to have a doctor examine you before taking a medicine like this and let the doc tell you which is best for you.  NEVER take a prescription medicine that was prescribed to someone else.  Also, anything you buy over the counter, medicines, herbal supplements, even vitamins should be okayed by your doc first.  They also have side effects and can have reactions to other meds you may take, or even certain foods you may eat.

Echinacea is a good choice.  Also, try ginger (it's antibacterial & antiviral, with other properties), onions and garlic (antibacterial and antiviral), an assortment of vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin c (particularly if you were already deficient in it)), cayenne pepper (a host of benefits), horseradish (host of benefits), plus many other herbs and spices.

Hello, I am a pharmacist from Oklahoma\n\nCongestive Heart Failure (CHF) is irreversible. You can't undo it but you can slow its progression by following your doctor's instructions. If by "natural means" you mean herbs or any of that I would advise you to avoid them. They are not proven effective and may have side effects and complications that would be detrimental to a CHF patient. There are certian drugs called beta blockers that have actually been proven to cause a decrease in cardiac remodeling in clinical trials of CHF patients. However, beta blocker therapy in CHF is rather controversial. Consult your doctor regarding treatment. \n\nHigh blood pressure can usually be reversed with proper diet and exercise, however if the patient has CHF and hypertension comorbidly, the I would suggest that you consult a doctor before making any exercise or dietary changes.

Ha, that's a good one.  Do some searches on ogoplex, roplex, and viacil supplements.  There's a combination of saw palmetto and other herbs that actually can work very well...maybe not quite Peter North well but it makes a difference.  Also - testosterone boosting supplements help as well.  Vitrix is one of the high quality/potency tribulus tablets that is used for promoting muscle growth.  It works by tricking your body into creating more testosterone.  I think you can see the correlation here.  I have a few friends in their 50's that are swearing by this combination, as well as adding some L-arginine or nitric oxide supplements.  It worked well enough to get them to give up the viagra, so I'd say it's pretty effective.

None in pill form, but there are things you can buy in the grocery store.\n\nCamomile tea.  Works good at releiving stress.\n\nClub soda.  Most club soda contains quinine which is a natural muscle relaxant.  You can flavor it with Koolaid, or rum. (or both.)

What causes erectile dysfunction (ED)?\nSince an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.\n\nDamage to nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues, often as a result of disease, is the most common cause of ED. Diseases—such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and neurologic disease—account for about 70 percent of ED cases. Between 35 and 50 percent of men with diabetes experience ED.\n\nLifestyle choices that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also raise the risk of erectile dysfunction. Smoking, being overweight, and avoiding exercise are possible causes of ED.\n\nAlso, surgery (especially radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer) can injure nerves and arteries near the penis, causing ED. Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, and pelvis can lead to ED by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries, and fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa.\n\nIn addition, many common medicines—blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimetidine (an ulcer drug)—can produce ED as a side effect.\n\nExperts believe that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure cause 10 to 20 percent of ED cases. Men with a physical cause for ED frequently experience the same sort of psychological reactions (stress, anxiety, guilt, depression). Other possible causes are smoking, which affects blood flow in veins and arteries, and hormonal abnormalities, such as not enough testosterone

No... but if you really want to be "ROCK HARD"  Try Viagra!  It works wonders and your lady will be very very happy!  You can buy it with overnight fedex from ViagraRxFAST . com without a prior prescription...  or you can try a penis pump, it might hurt a little though.

Dr Folts did the research on aspirin and it's roll as a anti platelet, he also found it does not work when the human body is under stress (when most heart attacks occur). He has been researching other alternatives and the best one to date is Grape seed extract. He has a patented formula marketed through a private company but it would be solicitation to say who it is here. But regular GSE is good for you also.
