Viagra is a vasodilator, should not make your BP go up - or do you mean your pulse feels like it's pounding, perhaps beating faster to make up for the lower BP? That happens to me on occasion, but for other reasons (mild dehydration is one cause, lowers blood volume) - pulse gets really fast in response to an abnormally low BP, which for me means 90/60 or lower. Of course getting a headache due to taking an ED med is a pretty undesirable outcome all by itself - could you imagine taking one then having to tell the wife "not tonite honey, I have a headache"? LOL.

But don't you use the "I have a headache" excuse?

Viagra actually lowers your BP, as a matter of fact that’s what it was being evaluated for when we realized it had the side effect it’s marketed for now. I was one of the pilots on Pfizer‘s Gulfstream the day Bill Steere (Chairman) got on board in Groton Conn. and had a big ole smile on his face.
We asked him what was up and he told us about the side effect. The other pilot asked him can it be taken with alcohol?, Bill said good point that’s probably what it’s gonna be used for the most!! Lol
