Cialis as a substitute for other BP medications?

[swissie]

I read on another sub-forum here that  "Cialis for daily use is legitimately prescribed as a treatment for high blood pressure".

TRUE/FALSE?

Possibly some (credible) links around concerning this matter?

It is not recommended/approved for use in treating essential hypertension.

 

It is used in treatment of pulmonary hypertension, but that is a different condition.

Spoken like a true ignorant:

What is the difference between essential hypertension and pulmonary hypertension?

AND: High performance athletes must have astronomical high blood pressure while doing their thing. How come they don't drop death like flyes while doing their thing? How come they are still alive?

Try a Google Search for "essential hypertension vs pulmonary hypertension".

 

[Sheryl]

Essential hypertension (high blood pressure) refers to elevated pressure in the peripheral arteries. Pretty common. 

 

Pulmonary hypertension is elevated pressure in the blood vessels of the lung, usually secondary to heart disease.  It is a serious condition mainly encountered in patients in intensive care units.

 

Everyone experiences momentary surges in blood pressure when exerting themselves or coughing/sneezing etc.  This is completely normal and will not cause a problem in someone with a healthy cardiovascular  system.

Cialis 5mg daily is prescribed in cases of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH),

as an alternative or additionally to alpha-blockers like Tamsulosin.

Like Tamsulosin, daily Cialis will lower the blood pressure. So any blood pressure medication that you are taking may have to be adjusted if you start Cialis.

 

Cialis is not by itself prescribed as a blood pressure medication.
