Can ED drugs trigger AFib?

[jsanta]

I’ve had three ablations and two conversions. My heart is running perfect for the last year no AFib episodes . Have not had any alcohol in eight months, caffeine or spicy foods which are known to trigger a fib. I was just wondering if Cialis or other ED drugs like Viagra can trigger an A FB episode?

No problem for me and my EP has told me he is quite happy for me to do so.

Have tried to post a link here that gives good advice, but it doesn't work. Will try and send it to you as a private message.

Cialis is a trigger for me for sure. Afib usually a day or two after taking it,

My EP said it is OK to take either. A top urologist told a friend that it is all right and that all his cardiologist friends take Cialis as it is good for the heart

Of course sidanafil started life as a heart drug didn’t it.

Yes and one article I read said that it only needed one tablet every six months helped one heart condition. I must search it out again.

Hey there,

I can relate to what you're going through since I’ve also dealt with ED and have been using Cialis. It’s been effective for me without any noticeable side effects. But it's important to use onlu high-quality Cialis, thats why I order it only from trusted pharmacy here - health-delivery24.com/buy-c...

As for your question, while ED drugs like Cialis (tadalafil) and Viagra (sildenafil) are generally safe for most people, they can potentially trigger issues like AFib (atrial fibrillation) in some cases, though this isn’t common. These medications work by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, but they can also cause a drop in blood pressure or slight changes in heart rhythm, which might be a concern for someone with a history of AFib.

Since you’ve been doing great for the past year, it’s worth discussing this with your cardiologist. They’ll know your specific case and can advise whether it’s safe for you to use ED drugs. It’s always better to play it safe, especially with your heart history.

Let me know how it goes, and take care!
