High Blood Pressure, Erectile Dysfunction, and awareness

I just received an email from a Mr. Ken Martin suggesting that my readers -- that's yous guys -- may be interested in reading the blog post 15 Facts You Need to Know for Blood Pressure Awareness Month whose link is at the bottom of the page.

There is valuable information contained in this blog message.

First... It needs to be underscored that ED may be the first symptom of any number of more dangerous, and perhaps life threatening, conditions which have not otherwise made themselves known. With the first sign of erectile dysfunction -- that's repeated attempts at sex over a few weeks and you can't perform -- you should see your doctor and be checked out. I won't enumerate them all, but prostate and blood pressure issues are high on the list of possible root causes of ED. It may sound strange, but you will be very relieved to find out you just have a weak wanger and not more ominous situation. Then you can address why your putter punked out.

I always thought the leading cause of high blood pressure was Kate Beckinsale running across my TV screen wearing rubber pants. Special note: while Kate Beckinsale in rubber pants may be the only reason to see Underworld, it's enough reason.

(Next blog post: a photo of a teenage Jennifer Connelly, also having absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.)

However, it begs the question: If this is Blood Pressure Awareness month, does that mean that the other eleven are Blood Pressure Oblivious months? Shouldn't something as important as a life threatening disease that's brought on, all to often, by bad eating and lifestyle habits, be something that one is "aware of" on an ongoing, daily basis. What happens in June. Forget the 15 facts listed in the blog post?

About the 15: #6 and #9 are the most important ones. I take issue with #12 because #6 omits ED as an early warning of high blood pressure -- your dick sometimes being the NORAD for your blood pressure.

Your entire body is connected. Every cell communicates with every other cell. Every organ sends signals to every other organ and every organ system -- neural, circulatory, immune, skeletal, reproductive, digestive -- they all interact on a minute by minute basis. Example: A condition called "clubbing" of the fingernails, could be an early sign of lung cancer. Fingernails? For lung cancer? Yep. 

So the pecker-pressure connection should be a lot easier to understand. What may be more challenging is whey HIGH blood pressure everywhere else results in LOW pressure where you really want it. But that's a discussion for another day.

  1. Great Post, You are very generous with your knowledge. High blood pressure by itself can lead to erectile dysfunction. The power to take control of your blood pressure and your sexual health is in your hands. By living a healthy lifestyle and working with your doctor, there's a chance you'll once again be able to have normal sexual function.
