Can I take phenylephrine if I’m taking blood pressure medication?
If you have high blood pressure then you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking phenylephrine or any other decongestants.
Phenylephrine can interact with high blood pressure medication and this product may not be suitable for you.
Is erectile dysfunction related to high blood pressure?
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) can cause erectile dysfunction, as it puts strain on your blood vessels, potentially causing damage.
In order to get an erection, your blood vessels need to open up and allow blood flow into the penis, so damage to your blood vessels can affect your ability to get an erection.
Lowering your high blood pressure could help to ease your ED, so we’d recommend asking your doctor for advice if you’re concerned that your blood pressure could be playing a part in your impotence.
What do blood pressure results mean?
Your blood pressure reading will show a top number and a bottom number.
The top number is your systolic blood pressure, the highest level your blood pressure reaches when your heart beats and pumps blood around your body.
The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure, the lowest level your blood pressure reaches as your heart relaxes between each beat.
Your reading will be measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) - the ideal blood pressure reading is between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
Who might need to test their blood pressure?
A blood pressure check is a routine part of many doctor's appointments, but some people may need to be tested more often due to certain risk factors.
People who have certain health conditions, particularly hypertension (high blood pressure) or heart disease, will find it beneficial to keep a blood pressure monitor at home so they can test themselves regularly.
