Hi Nugger

Here's a video of Dr Sanjay Gupta talking about sex and AF. He mentions Viagra:

It was originally trialed as a heart drug before the participants soon found the additional benefit. It is still prescribed for some heart conditions and even for children in a low dosage.

The other drug Cialis also has cardiac benefits. A friend (with BPH) was prescribed the low dosage one a day pill to help his urine flow. He later had an appointment with a top urologist at London Bridge Hospital who told him that all his cardiology colleagues were taking it because of its heart benefits

I wonder how much Playboy sales have decreased with the availability of online porn.

The heart trial group in Wales were taken pity on when the trial ended and still supplied with it.

I much prefer Cialis as the effect last for 36 hours and it helps my urine flow/output for at least two days

Yes I use it, and several times when in Afib it has jolted me back into NSR, [at least that's what I tell my wife] not every time though, but as I say to my wife, its worth a try.

Not what you're looking for?
