Sexual problems after a heart attack are common, occurring in one-half to three-quarters of patients.Both men and women may have less sex or feel less satisfied with sexual activity after heart attack.
A variety of factors may contribute, including side effects of drugs (such as beta blockers), depression, and fears about triggering a new heart attack or dying.
Since sexual activity is a type of physical activity, exercise testing can be used to determine if a person is at any risk of heart problems related to sex.
If a man develops chest pain after taking Viagra, Cialis or Levitra, he should not take nitrates for 24 hours (or longer in some cases).
Instead, the man should rest and wait 10 minutes to see if the pain resolves.
If the pain does not resolve or if the chest pain is severe, he should immediately call for emergency medical services
