Does bp meds cause impotency in most men? If so, is it because of reduced blood supply? I am trying to loose weight in hope of reducing bp naturally. Thanks.

I forgot to say my bp was average 140/95. I don't understand these new low standards. My Dr. says should be 120/70.

jj, My BP was about the same as yours, 150/95..Been taking cayenne pepper for 3 wks. and I have it down to 133/88..I would try it for a few months before starting medicine..Also excercise and drink lots of water..Steve

Hi, JJ.
In my opinion, the newer, lower standards mainly increase business for the doc and for the pharma companies. There is no creditable evidence, yet, that keeping people's pressures in this range will have any long term effect except on the income of the medical/pharmacological complex.
Wellness, along with omega 3s, is still the best approach--ESPECIALLY in those whose pressures are like yours!
Let us know how you do.

Steve - I'm curious to know how much cayenne you take and how many times a day. I sometimes take the capsules and have an uncomfortable feeling of heat in my chest for an hour or so more after taking them. I think it helps if I take them with, or just after, eating.
Also, what got you started taking cayenne for high blood pressure? I doubt it was your doctor, right?
Thanks for any info.

diane AC, Your right no DR. put me on to cayenne power..If your having some disconfort, try taking only 1 capsule three times a day, after eating..Take it only with water and lots of it..I take 2 capsules three times a day..I drink no less than 64 oz. of water a day, sometimes more..Build your self up to 6 per day and get ready for the " butt burn "..But it has helped me..Steve
