Is it safe and will it cause you to bring on a AF attack? Anyone had any problem using Viagra?

Yes apparently it is safe with AF but not if you are taking anticoagulants. Get GP advice is my advice. 👍

Been taking Sildanafil (Viagra) for many years with no issues and I do take Warfarin.

I think there was one onset of AF about 10 years ago after taking it but that has been the only occasion when I had a problem.

As always talk to your doctor to ensure that you personally do not have any underlying problems that might cause a problem for you.

I've had no AF problems at all with taking viagra & I'm on an anticoagulant. Relax & enjoy!

One of the common side effects of Viagra is heartburn. Some folks have reported that heartburn/reflux is a trigger for their afib, so this MIGHT be a possible concern?

I think that’s a serious question better asked of your doctor.
