[QUOTE=michaellabibat;3306614]About sex and medication, I'm not married and of course I don't have a girlfriend or any sort of a similar relationship.
My wife, of four decades, and I lived together for quite a while before we got married, so we found out that we were compatible before we made a life long commitment. It's tough to find someone, with which you enjoy every moment, and with which you love to do the same things, and with which you NEVER get tired of holding, or sharing conversation. I respect your commitment to your culture and religion, but for me, a trial period worked very well.
[QUOTE]I'm orthodox and I will not have sex outside of a marraige relationship,
Is masturbation against your religion also?
Sex is one of the most enjoyable, and rewarding pleasures, either alone or with someone else.
[QUOTE] but I'm afraid that Diuretics would effect my sexual ability. So when I get marry even if I quit diuretics I get ED??? that's the question that I really need an answer for.
Most mediations only cause ED while they are taken. As an example, each time that I stopped taking, or reduced my medications, my libido increased. Unfortunately, I am still on several heart medications, so, when I look at a beautiful woman, I still ogle, but I forget why!
[QUOTE]About CCBs and Sex, I really don't know because I'm not married :(.
You don't have to be married, or have a girl friend, to enjoy sex. Sex is as natural as sleeping, or eating or enjoying a beautiful song. But...... I apologize if I am saying things that might be offensive to your religion.
[QUOTE]beerzoids, I want to ask you about the ACEs you have tried. Are all gave you the same side effects?
I have only tried Quinapril (Accupril). My cardiologist put me on Quinapril because of it's lower risk of aggravating my Asthma.
[QUOTE]When I tried ARBs and ACEs I took each drug for few days and I quit because of the side effects. If I wait those side effects may go away???
Those types of medications cause increased levels of potassium. If you are eating a diet rich in potassium, then that could be causing the nasty side effects. Also....... did you take those medications within 2 hours of your CCB? It's good to separate different medications by at least an hour, preferably two.
High Blood Pressure is not healthy. There is no choice, for your future health, but to get your blood pressure down to healthy levels. If I were you, I would ask your doctor about a low dose, A LOW DOSE, of diuretic. Stay on it for a couple of weeks, if you can, and check your blood pressure at three different times of the day, morning, noon and night. Then decide if you need to increase the dosage slightly, keep it the same, or ditch it.
Then, I would ask your doctor for a low dosage of an ACE, and try the same thing as with the diuretic. Take the medications during the day time, not the night.
[QUOTE]Thanks for your insight information and please keep that average BP range :D
