Usually when I take Viagra, at some point I feel kind of like like I'm getting a hot flash, and sometimes I wake up during the night and the sheets are soaked with my sweat. What's going on?This isn't necessarily a sign that you're going through male menopause.
The Viagra definitely could be responsible for those types of symptoms. Viagra causes blood vessels to dilate, and although it is primarily targeted to affect blood vessels in the penis, it can affect blood vessels in other parts of the body - hence the facial flushing, stuffy noses, and headaches that can sometimes accompany use of the drug.
Viagra probably doesn't actually increase your core body temperature, but it does make your body feel hotter, and makes you radiate more body heat, because more of your blood is flowing to the surface of your skin. Alcohol does the same thing, which is why taking a shot of alcohol can make you feel warmer when you're in the cold, but if you're out in the elements and really at risk for hypothermia, it's a bad idea, because it will make you lose body heat.
It's unlikely that you'd take Viagra while at risk for hypothermia, but jf you're ever thinking about it - don't.
The night sweats - those can be a side effect of Viagra as well. Some men who have taken Viagra in studies have reported excessive perspiration or night sweats.These symptoms are most likely harmless, but if they are troubling to you, talk to your doctor and let him or her know what is going on.
