Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction
Question: I'm a 64 year male old in basic good health with slightly elevated blood pressure but I maintain an active sex life, blood pressure runs around 140 over 89 as my normal reading,
is saw palmetto counter active with Norvasc or Losartan which I take for blood pressure, I don't know of
any prostate problems, I've been examined by my primary physician last year, but I could use some extra
help with erections, It may be a mental thing, certain stimulations I'm not getting like I used too, my
doctor asked if I wanted Viagra, but is that safe to take with the blood pressure meds I mentioned?
I take a few supplements like extra vitamin C, D, and Co q 10 plus mega red supplements for the heart
so with all that is saw palmetto safe to add or even Viagra should I choose? thank you for your input.
