Heart Failure, on new meds, now low sex drive? Please help.?

I had a heart condition whcih turned into congestive heart failure I'm only 31. My doctor has me on Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, water pill), Coreg (beta blocker), Avapro (blood pressure med.) and Celebrex (for pain and inflamation). Lately, I don't feel like I want to be intimate with my husband....I either feel like I have no sexual desire at all, or I'm visually turned on but I'm really dry down there and not really interested in sex at all. Has anyone else experienced this on these medications? Do these meds cause low sex drive? Anyone else on these medications?

WOW quite the cocktail of Rx's there!!!

Yes lack of sex drive in normal!!! Ask ya' doc' for another (OMG) RX for that prob'!!! As for the dryness...There are over the counter products like KY Jelly

Really wanna add some spice...Go to a local sex store...Many fun, tasty products...May help more than another RX!!!

Break a leg!!!

Yes. These medications can zap your sex drive as well as making it difficult to climax. Talk with your doctor to see if you can switch to different meds....If that is an option. There are other types of medications...such as calcium channel blockers...ace inhibitors.

Coreg is the culprit.(beta blockers well known to decrease libido)
beside psychological factor from having heart failure
but Coreg is # 1 cause.

I have had almost the same thing. I have been on meds for two years for a cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Im on coreg, diovan, spironolactone, lasix, and prozac. ALmost the same stuff just slightly different drugs. Its worth it, you just need to keep on them and get yourself moving in the right direction. I was 32 when i found out. it scared me to death, but now my worst problem is that im always tired and cant lose weight, both caused by the coreg according to the doctors!!! Good Luck!!!

Here is a link that is by people with heart failure for people with heart failure. If you will look through the site you will find a lot of others are in the same boat. Try----- http://www.chfpatients.com...... It's loaded with information. Celebrex and heart failure are not a good combination and Celebrex can lead to heat attack just like Vixox did.

A side affect of beta blockers such as coreg (generic name carvedilol) can female sexual dysfunction. Speak to your doctor whom may be able to change your medication.
