Patient's question:
I usually take Viagra, but I recently found out I have high blood pressure. I want to know if I can take Viagra with high blood pressure and what kind of harm it might cause to my body?Doctor's answer:
For people with high blood pressure, it is recommended that they should not take aphrodisiac drugs. Generally, aphrodisiac drugs can increase the speed of blood flow throughout the body, increase blood volume, and enhance the power of the heart, leading to further elevation of blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure may further increase the burden on the heart and easily lead to heart failure. Moreover, high blood pressure may cause blood vessels to rupture, resulting in bleeding. Therefore, people with high blood pressure should not take aphrodisiac drugs. Pay attention to a balance between work and rest, and maintain sufficient deep sleep. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, with a preference for a low-sodium and low-animal-fat diet, and avoid foods containing cholesterol. Hypertensive patients should consume more foods and fruits that can lower blood pressure.
