Cialis Causing Brain Fog, Fatigue, Palpitations, Shortness of Breath

I’ve seen people deal with minor side effects like reflux and the likes, but that’s the least of my worries. Cialis just gets me completely off my game for a few days in where even concentrating on simple things is a struggle. I heard taking daily low may help this out, but eventually even 5mg stacks up and caused same symptoms. If the side effects were to subside how long would they take? Has anyone pushed through for say a month? I wonder why some of us have such a severe reaction to it, while others actually get great results supposedly going beyond erection quality.

My biggest problem it is this air hunger it tends to give me. I check my blood pressure and it’s not low or anything so I wonder why.

How long you try the 5 daily. They do make 2.5 daily too.

My symptoms of back pain last a few days then go away on daily.

May need to try Viagra. Can take 50 on the morning 50 and night.

Stop taking it and try again next week. The dilation process is probably a bit too much for you at this moment. Work your way into it.

it was doing the samething to me. fatigue, brain fog. but it wasn’t taking it daily

It was as in it doesn’t anymore? Or it was and you quit taking it because of that?

i quit using it. I was tired for a few days after taking it. Pissing me off

Yeah sucks for us dude. Even if 2.5mg doesn’t throw me off the very first dose it definitely does the 2nd or 3rd.

Did you try viagra ?

Not for quite some time no. From what I remember it cause heavy brain fog as well and headache. It would be better for us due to the shorter time of action, but I really wanted a long term solution like a low dose cialis daily. Doesn’t seem appealing to me to have to plan to time it and when to take it.

Can’t remember if it messes with my eyes and ears just as bad.

did you try L-Arginine ?

No and from what I understand it’s garbage anyways and doesn’t make it in your system past digestion. Supposedly it’s better to take the precursor of citruline malate. Which that did give me some pump at the gym when I tried it a few times, not sure if any benefits for ED.

its more ‘‘natural’’ i used to take it and i like that !

i prefer arginine for boner

It didn’t give you any problems with flushing at all? Or very minor?

What you mean ?

In other words are the side effects very minor if any at all?

Never felt any side.

Only side I’ve had reoccurring is nasty heart burn. Might have to get some Prilosec.

I have found that Cialis causes tiredness and fatigue. Cialis directly or indirectly causes vitamin D deficiency and no amount of supplementation will get my vitamin D out of a deficiency, unless I stop the Cialis.

Cialis can change T:E2 ratios, lowering estrogen and this can change hepcidin levels and change iron metabolism. People with lower vitamin D tend to have lower estrogen levels, so maybe there’s a shared pathway between the two.

As a consequence, my hematocrit and hemoglobin increases, and this I believe is the mechanism for suppressing vitamin D.

Too much iron in the body can cause secondary iron overload conditions which may disturb the 25-hepatic hydroxylation and synthesis of Vit D, causing Vit D deficiency.

People who get repeated blood transfusions are at risk for vitamin D deficiency by the same mechanism.
