Hypertension medications and erectile dysfunction

[Chroniclowe]

I complained to my cardiologist long time ago that since I'm taking regular carvedilol, I become too calm and my HR max is only at 130 and I can't exercise that much.

I know carvedilol is extremely good though, I have very bad 'anxiety feeling' before an MI event but after carvedilol that feeling is gone. Also very stable LVEF and very minimal effect after MI. With regular carvedilol I'm gaining weight .........fast. Although I'm at Keto. Then I slowly not taking it and do more HIIT (this is prior TRT). Weight stablizes and going down.

Best time for me to take BB is:
-before sleep
- after exercise
-after sex

I then research a lot on BB and found Nebivolol could be the answer. Before I use Nebivolol I already in TRT. With TRT I gained lot of muscle, like losing 8 percent of boday fats just like that. Impressive. Eating carb a bit has no effect now, whoa...this is like 19 feeling. So I add cardiologist to switch me to nebivolol, I took it on demand only and again trial-and-error for few days. I still feel it has an impact to ED for 1-2 days. Then I add Cialis to counteract, things are okay now.

Many of these studies, regardless what they say, it really doesn't matter. What matter is whether it work in our body and whether there's tip/trick to manage the side effect. Same like TRT. The min. dose and every day injection is when I feel the best.

Do you still use nebivolol? And what dosage?

I had switched to Bystolic and loved it at the 10mg dose. After 3 months I decided to try the generic-nebivolol and find it works as well was the brand name! I find it keep my BP in a great range. my HR runs 60-70 and BP 120 over 75 down from 145 over 90! could not be happier!!!

Any side effects like cold hands/feet, and/or minor weight gain?
For me 10mg was little bit too much, dropped my HR 55-60’s and caused me them side effects(cold hands+feet + minor weight gain.)
5mg is my sweet spot.

Nebivolol lowers blood pressure and increases weight loss in patients with hypertension and diabetes in regard to age - PubMed

Nebivolol is effective in treating patients with diabetes suffering from high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome. The significantly decreased effect on blood pressure found in elderly patients may be attributed to increased endothelial dysfunction with advancing age.

In this study, 5mg daily was actually causing weight loss. I think 5mg daily is optimal for most people.

The FDA sent a letter to stop the claims about Nebivolol (Bystolic). In my opinion, this beta blocker has no advantages over others on sex drive and erectile function.
