SLEEP APNEA AND ED?

Post by Jerseyguy » Fri Jul 26, 2019 5:45 pm

I have recently been having some minor issues with ED. Occasional stuff that will happen for a couple of minutes and then I'm fine. My question is Sleep Apnea the boner killer that my Google search says it is. I have had trouble keeping my mask on so my SA isnt being properly treated. I had discussed keeping the mask on and I believe most of the suggestions was that first aid like tape so I wake up when I do it??

I forgot to mention I'm 41 and overweight so some of this might be normal (or atleast expected based on my health)

I’ve noticed my night time erections have fully returned and I’m at week 4 of Cpap use. Have a feeling my testosterone levels are going to be higher as well.

I thought they made a pill for that, not sure how to use it. Do you put it in front of the XPAP filter or in the HH? :shock: Jim

It's my understanding that sleep apnea can cause ED, but it's certainly not the only thing that can cause ED so you might want to get checked out by your general practitioner (or cardiologist if you have one) to make sure nothing else is going on.

Bring in your OSCAR charts and have your Doctor examine your RERAs.
