Unfortunately, certain medications that help control your\nblood pressure can also contribute to erectile dysfunction, which further\nconfounds the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACE or angiotensin-converting enzyme\ninhibitors and beta blockers are just two examples of medications that doctors\noften prescribe to help treat high blood pressure. Find out how these two\nanti-hypertension medications work, and which one is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#5f0002;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Overview of Hypertension<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hypertension typically does not cause\nany overt symptoms. Your blood pressure should be 120 over 80 mmHG, but when\nyou go over 130 over 80 mmHG, that is already high. Blood pressure higher than\n180 over 120 mmHG is already considered dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you don&#8217;t control your blood\npressure and it does not go back down to the normal range, you can end up\nsuffering from stroke, heart attack, and other heart diseases in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncontrolled high blood pressure can\nlead to atherosclerosis, which makes your blood vessels narrow and clogged.\nThis further contributes to the problem since causes your heart to pump much\nharder in order to send your blood flowing through those clogged arteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"banner vm-80\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-md-12 text-center\">\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/banner_award.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block banner_award\" alt=\"Money Back Guaranteed Male Enhancement Pills - Male UltraCore 2019 Award\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-md-6\"><figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/21c-box.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Box and Bottle\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/div>\n        <div>\n            <ul>\n                <li>100% Money Back<\/li>\n                <li>Free Rushed Shipping<\/li>\n                <li>Change Your Sex Life<\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n\n            <div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"\/order\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">ORDER NOW<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/secure-logos2.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block secure_logos\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Secure Site Logos\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#5f0002;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>ACE Inhibitors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"heart medication pills\" class=\"wp-image-1378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Angiotensin II is an enzyme and one\nof its main functions is to make your blood vessels constrict. When you have\nhigh blood pressure, you need your blood vessels to dilate and widen so that\nmore blood is able to pass through. ACE inhibitors basically prevent your body\nfrom synthesizing angiotensin II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of ACE inhibitors include\nramipril, benazepril, moexipril, captopril, and enalapril. Although ACE\ninhibitors are widely prescribed for hypertension, they can also be used to\ntreat other health conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure,\nand heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACE inhibitors may also be used for\ndiabetes, migraines, scleroderma, and certain types of chronic kidney diseases.\nThe prescription may be in combination with other medications such as calcium\nchannel blockers or diuretics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there are certain\nadverse side effects associated with ACE inhibitors and these include\nheadaches, dizziness, fatigue, dry cough, loss of taste, and hyperkalemia or\nincreased levels of blood-potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#5f0002;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Beta Blockers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beta blockers also help to lower your\nblood pressure, although the mode of action is different compared to ACE\ninhibitors. Also referred to as beta-adrenergic blocking agents, beta blockers\nare called such because they basically block the effects of adrenaline, a\nhormone that&#8217;s also called epinephrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when you take beta\nblockers is that your heart starts pumping with lesser force and beats more\nslowly, resulting in reduced blood pressure. In addition, beta blockers also\nhelp your blood vessels to dilate, thereby improving blood flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of commonly prescribed beta\nblockers include metoprolol, acebutolol, propranolol, and atenolol. These\nmedications help treat hypertension, heart attacks, angina or chest pain,\narrhythmia or irregular heart rhythm, heart failure, and migraines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beta blockers are also known to cause\nseveral side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, and cold hands or feet.\nDepression, sleep problems, and shortness of breath are some of the less common\nside effects of beta blockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#5f0002;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Which Anti-Hypertension Medication is Better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors usually consider your overall\nhealth and other underlying health conditions before they prescribe medication\nfor high blood pressure. For instance, beta blockers usually aren&#8217;t prescribed\nto those with diabetes or asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you happen to have erectile\ndysfunction and you don&#8217;t want your sexual problems to worsen, your doctor will\nmost likely recommend that you take ACE inhibitors instead of beta blockers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"medicine effects on erectile function\" class=\"wp-image-1379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ACE-Inhibitors-Vs-Beta-Blockers-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Older generation beta blockers are\nactually notorious for causing erectile dysfunction. Studies have revealed that\nolder generation beta blockers like propranolol are more likely to cause\nerectile dysfunction compared to the newer generation beta blockers like\nceliprolol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propanolol, atenolol, and carvedilol\nare associated with a higher incidence of sexual dysfunction. In previous\nstudies, it was shown that men who took atenolol or carvedilol had a\nsignificantly reduced frequency of sexual intercourse during the period when they\nwere taking the medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, ACE inhibitors may\nactually benefit your erectile function. Aside from decreasing your production\nof angiotensin II, ACE inhibitors also lessen the degradation of bradykinin,\nwhich is a compound that helps promote the release of nitric oxide in the\npenis.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By increasing nitric oxide secretion\nin the penis, ACE inhibitors help you to be able to achieve penile tumescence.\nYou need nitric oxide in order to get a hard-on because nitric oxide is the\nneurotransmitter that triggers cGMP production, as well as smooth muscle\nrelaxation in the penile corpora cavernosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, if your purpose is to manage\nyour blood pressure while maintaining normal erectile function, you should\ndiscuss these concerns with your doctor to see if ACE inhibitors are indeed the\nright medicines for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are actually other classes of\nmedicines that can also help you manage your blood pressure, and your doctor\nmay prescribe those instead of ACE inhibitors or beta blockers. Alternatively,\nyour doctor may also recommend a combination treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your doctor happened to give you a\nprescription for a diuretic medicine, and you&#8217;re supposed to take it in\ncombination with an ACE inhibitor or beta blocker, you should definitely inform\nyour doctor about your erectile dysfunction concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diuretic medications such as\nchlorthalidone are actually known to have adverse sexual side effects, whether\nused in combination with other anti-hypertension medications or as a\nstand-alone treatment. In fact, there have been reports that the incidence of\nsexual dysfunction is higher in men taking diuretic medications compared to\nthose taking atenolol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#020061;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s very important that you should\nmanage your blood pressure well, not only to protect your heart health but also\nto keep your blood vessels healthy and to prevent erectile dysfunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you may feel embarrassed to\ntell your doctor about your sexual health problems, you should make sure that\nyou discuss this with your doctor so that he can be guided in giving you the\nappropriate medication for your hypertension. Hopefully, your doctor will give\nyou a prescription for an anti-hypertension medication that doesn&#8217;t cause\nimpotence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg\" alt=\"Risk Free 100 Percent Money Back Guaranteed Testosterone Booster Enhancement Supplements\" class=\"wp-image-1753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-600x184.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-768x236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that hypertension can make you impotent?
