High blood pressure and sex: Overcome the challenges

Be honest with your healthcare team

Living with high blood pressure doesn't usually mean giving up a good sex life. Talking openly and honestly with your healthcare team can help you manage your treatment and solve any concerns. Be ready to answer questions your healthcare team may ask, such as:

  • What medicines do you take?
  • Has your relationship with your sexual partner changed recently?
  • Are you sad or depressed?
  • Have you been under a lot of stress lately?
