Contact your doctor immediately if you experience chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or sudden vision loss after taking Viagra. These are serious side effects requiring prompt medical attention. Similarly, prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than four hours is a medical emergency and needs immediate treatment.
Other Reasons to Consult Your Doctor
Schedule a consultation with your doctor if you experience headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, or indigestion that are severe or persistent. These side effects are more common, but ongoing discomfort warrants professional evaluation. Also, discuss any changes in your overall health, including the start of new medications or underlying conditions like heart disease or diabetes, before using Viagra or making dosage adjustments. Your doctor can help determine if Viagra is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances. Finally, if you have any questions about Viagra’s use or experience any unexpected effects, don’t hesitate to seek medical guidance.
