Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to health care forum. I am Dr Manisha Jain. Regarding your query , planning for the second kid is a mutual decision. Although his high blood pressure medicines are not a deterrent in planning for second kid bit some medicines like beta blockers do affect sexual life. Does he have loss of sexual interest from some time. You can discuss with him in detail about the reason for not wanting a second child. Can you tell me what medicines he is taking ? Also tell the doses.
