Thanks for contacting HCM

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling weak and having sexual problems. When looking over your medications I notice you are taking Tenormin which is a beta blocker and this medication can frequently cause marked fatigue and sexual dysfunction. In my practice when I have patient complaining of these symptoms on Tenormin I consider changing the medication. I recommend that you seek advice from your medical doctor and have him stop the Tenormin. I would not recommend you stop the Tenormin on your own as it may cause an increase in your blood pressure.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your concerns.
