There is no evidence that Viagra can cause heart attack, but men with existing heart disease should be extra careful while using Viagra medication, because of its effect on arteries. Viagra medication must not be consumed without doctors’ prescription.
All arteries, not only those in the penis, produce nitric oxide, any artery can widen in response to Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis, lowering blood pressure by 5-8 mmHg for a brief period of time, even in otherwise healthy men.
When blood supply to a section of the heart muscle is blocked, a heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs. Chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, and pain or discomfort in the back, arms, or shoulders are all classic signs of a heart attack.
Viagra is a vasodilator, which means it helps blood vessels and arteries to open up. Men, taking Viagra have been reported to suffer from heart attacks, strokes, arrhythmias, and even death.
The performance of sexual activity was more probable than the use of Viagra to cause heart attacks.
Although there is no definitive evidence linking Viagra heart attacks, men with established heart issues or who are taking heart medications should avoid or use erectile dysfunction therapies with caution.
Talk to your doctor straight away, if you feel any unusual side-effect of the Viagra medication.
