Hello guys.

There seems to be a strong correlation between sleep apnea and PDE5 drugs. I can see some literature about it but I wanted real life experiences from you guys.

I want to rule out if I am very sensitive to this or if it is rather very common.

Please share your experiences.

Thank you.
 
Hey @Rolls roydz - Most PDE5 cause flushing / nasal congestion. I take generic Dristan when I take them(the long lasting 12 hour kind). I don't have blood circulation issues or a medical reason for using them, but they are fun. If taking test and a DHT drug, I don't but it is fun to cork the bat lol. If I don't take generic dristan type medication at the same time, I would be a mouth breather during sex.

I have read (straight from the all-knowing Google) if you have severe sleep apnea and take these meds, it can causea respiratory disturbances and desaturation events, but not vice-versa. Have you read the use of these meds can cause sleep apnea?
Mine is 100% because I gained size and have a very large neck. it is annoying.
Vitalair and other similar companies are going to do well in coming years if they cause sleep apnea, it amazed me how many guys I talk to who are younger as in 18-25 take PDE5 drugs everytime they have sex. They used it / liked it and now claim they can't without it. I suspect that is 100% psychological.
Interesting - if you read they can cause permanent sleep apnea even with the short half life PDE5's, please post the link.
 
I have definitely noticed a correlation between my Cialis/Viagra use and my sleep. If I happen to get the congestion sometimes associated with them it's a bad night, even with the CPAP on. Nothing quite like trying to sleep with a mask on your face blowing air up your nose when you can only breathe out of one side.

I've had the young kids at work ask me about it. I tell them they don't need it at their age, plus they will wreck themselves. Once they get the super boner, then a normal boner will never be the same, so wait till they are 40.
 
yup... me too... my sinuss/nose get irrated, inflammed, itchy etc to the point I can't wear my sleep appnea mask because my nose is too clogged

cialis is much worse for it than viagra for me.
I'm ok if I only use 5 mg. So when I know I'll be banging the wife, I take 5 mg that night then 5 mg in the morning and its not too bad.
If I use flonase or Otrivin it lessens it.
 
I have SEVERE sleep apnea. Apnea scores are not impacted if I take the 2.5 or 5 mg pharma Cialis. With 25mg Viagra or 20 mg Cialis I get severely stuffy for a couple hours, but if I do a sinus rinse before bed I’m good and it doesn’t impact my apnea scores.
