by Ashish Jain, Ash

Since a patient of high blood pressure does not show any peculiar symptom, it is very hard to distinguish that person from a normal person. And this is probably the reason why the blood pressure patients get confused while diagnosis. Most of the patients feel depressed and helpless. A patient mostly feels that he has this disease that has no cure, and he has to suffer from it for the rest of his or her life.

But this is surely not a solution to this problem. You need to get all the information about this disease. You will find that you can control high blood pressure with the help of a nutritious diet and a regular exercise regimen on the recommendation of your doctor. A few things that your doctor would tell you are to stop smoking, to reduce the intake of caffeine and to remain stress free.

It is also recommendable for the patient of high blood pressure to cut down the intake of alcohol, as it may aggravate the level of high blood pressure. The regular and excessive drinker of alcohol should limit its consumption to one or two drinks a week and the patient should prefer red wine, as it is still beneficial for your health as compared to other drinks with alcohol content.

Doctors say never mix alcohol with high blood pressure, as it may worsen the situation. Sometimes few people feel like having a drink or two after a hectic and stressful day and sometimes to cheer up the mood but that little glass of drink can play havoc with your health. Especially when you have been already found to have high blood pressure!

Hypertension, or high blood pressure has no known symptoms. It is called the silent killer because you do not know you have it and you feel just fine. It is a major health problem and if it is left untreated can lead to erectile dysfunction, stoke, heart disease and others.

Unlike erectile dysfunction, which is a noticeable condition, high blood pressure does not cause symptoms you can feel or see.

Causes of high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction include the following.

2.Men with high blood pressure may also have a low testosterone level. Testosterone is a male hormone that plays a big role in sexual activity.

3.High blood pressure alone can lead to erectile dysfunction. Some medications for treating high blood pressure such as diuretic otherwise known as water pills, and beta-blockers are the most commonly linked to erectile dysfunction.

4.Levitra is a medication that can undo the side effects of diuretics and beta-blockers, and give you a sustain erection long enough for sexual intercourse.

Diuretics may cause erectile dysfunction by decreasing the force of blood flow into the penis. Beta-blockers dampen nerve impulses that lead to an erection. They also make it more difficult for the arteries in the penis to widen and let the blood into the penis.

1.Talk to your doctor if you think your medications are causing problems with having an erection.
2.Lower your blood pressure, by diet, exercise or medications.
3.Some medications that treat high blood pressure have been known to cause erectile dysfunction. Certain medications may improve erectile dysfunction for some men.
4.Diuretics, or water pills, and beta-blockers, like Atenolol can cause erection problems. These are likely the drugs that the doctor may prescribe to you to help lower your blood pressure. The doctor may even prescribe a combination of blood pressure medication to reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction so you can be able to produce a sustained erection for sexual pleasure.
5.Ask your doctor if these medications causing problems. You might have to have them changed.

The power to have sexual freedom and take control of your blood pressure is in the palm of you hand. You can treat your erectile dysfunction by controlling your blood pressure by getting it checked regularly; take your medications, diet and exercise on a regular basis.
