Two: Digestive System Problems ● ED medication can result in several digestive system problems, with indigestion and diarrhea being the most common ones. ● These symptoms can occur no matter what medication you take. ● You will need to make dietary changes to deal with these side effects. ● Two necessary dietary changes are eating more fiber and drinking more water. ● More fiber is necessary to combat indigestion and constipation, while you will need to drink more water to make up for what you lose due to diarrhea. Three: Body Aches and Pain ● Many people have complained of body aches after taking ED medication, with lower back pain being the most common complaint. ● Taking some over-the-counter pain medication is usually enough to deal with this side effect. ● However, you should consult with a doctor before taking any pain-relieving medication. ● They can help determine why you are experiencing the pain, and if medication will help deal with it.

Now, back to the video: Four: Dizziness ● The nitric oxide can also cause dizziness. ● The dizziness experienced after taking ED medication is usually slight but has caused people to faint in some rare cases. ● See your doctor right away if you fainted, but also if you regularly experience dizziness due to ED medication. Five: Changes in Vision ● ED medication is not recommended to people who have experienced vision loss because it can result in blurry and altered vision. ● Total vision loss is very rare, but you still need to consult with a doctor if your vision is affected by the medication. Six: Congestion and Runny Nose ● A stuffy and runny nose is a common side effect of ED medication which usually goes away with treatment. Seven: Flushed Skin ● The change in blood flow can also result in flushes, causing the skin to get red. ● The flushes are usually just reddish spots but can end up being deeply red like rashes. ● The flushes can become worse if you: 1. Have had spicy food 2. Are outside while it’s warm 3. Drank alcohol before taking the medication
