Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Viagra can be potentially life threatening if take with nitrates used to treat hypertension. Please, report his list of medications to me to see if any is a potential reason to abstain from Viagra. Otherwise, aneurysm and coumarins are not contraindications for viagra.

I hope to hear from you before concluding on this. Until then, I wish you well.
