A member asked:

Am having an echo stress test tomorrow after 3 day of hospital admission, should i stop metformin , and sexual activity with cialis and why?

Yes and no.: Obviously, somebody is concerned that you could have some kind of cardiac problem. There is typically no need to stop taking metformin for an echocardiogram, but i would suggest you avoid taking Cialis until you know the results of your stress test.

Stress test: You were in hospital for three days. You are about to have a stress test. Hold off on sexual activity until stress test done. Cialis could lower your blood pressure and you may have new medications from hospital discharge. The stress test is looking for coronary disease. Your doctor will look for ECG changes and wall motion changes in your heart. Hope this helps.
