Q: my hubby is 54. his md stopped his b/p meds b/c of ed, why?

Blood Pressure &amp; ED: Some BP meds have ED as a side effect. If you hubby's is complaining of ED and his BP is stable it is OK to stop the medications. Hopefully his ED will resolve. He need to monitor his BP, 2-3/week, if it starts to go abnormally high he is to contact his MD.
