Can the high blood pressure medicine called amlodipine cause ed? I get this question a lot and I want to review what is high blood pressure and what medicine that you take for high blood pressure that contribute to ED? Now, in August of 2025, American College of Cardiology as well as American Heart association came out with new guideline that will define what high blood pressure is. So normal blood pressure is considered 120 over 80. It used to be higher, but now it's lowering down to 120 over 80. And if the top number, which is systolic number is higher than 120 to 129, does mean that you are at risk for high blood pressure, you are in early stage of high blood pressure. That's it. Even if the bottom number is 80 or lower.
