Hello , i'm 34 and having erection problems . i have high cholesterol and taking statins and bisoprolol . searching for advice please .

Possibly side effect: Erectile dysfunction can be a side effect of statins and bisprolol can reduce libido, leading to erection problems. The only way to see if these are connected would be to stop, but let your Dr. know. There are many other drugs for blood pressure. Recent research makes me question whether high cholesterol usually needs treatment- see https://tinyurl.com/y8rars9k and http://tinyurl.com/9x3n594
