Brief Answer:
It could be your medication
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Although occasional failure to achieve erection is completely normal for any age individual but inability to maintain erection and failure to ejaculate indicates possibility of pathology.
Although I am not sure what medicine you are taking for blood pressure but there is possibility that it is causing problem in erection and ejaculation. It is not uncommon to see the side effect of blood pressure medications such as calcium channel blockers.
I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
