Are you taking and medication for your heart disease? Medication can affect how things work 'downstairs'. blood pressure meds will affect things as can meds to balance your cholesterol (can't remember what they are called).

You need to speak to your doctor and maybe they can make some adjustments or change the brand of medication.

Sometimes meds can be lowered when you are on a super healthy diet along with regular exercise. So check your diet and exercise regime as this can lead to less meds and natural improvements with your libido.

This maybe as a result of some reaction of the medications you are taking to cure the heart disease just as Audrey have said, you may also be suffering from Arteriosclerosis (Cholesterol that blocks the arteries) or Diabetes, this two conditions may hinders the correct flow of blood to the penis cavities, if the blood pressure inside the penis is not enough this will affect your erection.

I will suggest you take nutrition rich in Zinc, Vitamin E and other vitamins such as B1, B5, B6 and B12, Vitamin E and Zinc in particular are very useful, they can be found in some types of sea foods such as Oysters.

Also try as mush as possible to avoid stress. Good luck.

I understand where you are coming from. I am 51 and have had the same issues. Meds can cause this, as well as high blood pressure, however, you can talk to your doctor or go see a urologist, inform them of your issue and ask for a tril pack of Viagra, Lavitra, and Cialis... one of them will amaze you, I am sure. I tried all three -- lavitra did not work at all, Viagra worked some, but Cialis was amazing. Also, you should have your Testosterone level and Vitamin D levels checked (blood test for these). That can cause your issues and meds, including the Viagra or Cialis will not get around that, if your levels are too low. Mine were. I had a hard time getting my doctor to check it, but he did and found the levels were very low. Good luck.
