Kent has been having a flushing feeling off and on, almost like he has a fever but he doesn't. He has a very stressful job and has alot of anxiety at work too. Has anyone else experienced this flushing? Hormone changes maybe? Just thought I would check here first. Going to call the doc but wasn't sure whether to call the regular GP or surgeon.

Thanks for the help

Cindy

Noticed in your signature that your husband is taking "viagra up to 100 a day". You may check into the side effects of Viagra, but I believe the "flushing feeling" as you describe it may be a result of the Viagra and have nothing at all to do with his overall stress, etc.

If that is the case, Levitra and Cialis are other options.

Hopefully it will be nothing more serious than that.

Well, that certainly explains it!! Thank you so much. I didn't remember that was a side effect!

I agree.  The ED meds will cause flushing (which is a normal side-effect) - this include Viagra and Cialis (I never tried Levitra).

Cindy,

When I took Viagra, I noticed a flushing feeling in my head.  The top of my head actually hurt  tongue .  Doc then gave me some Levitra to try and the flushing was better, however what I have noticed is that my head gets very congested (sinuses).  With spring allergies this was bad enough for me to stop for a while.  It seems to get better the more I take it though.

When I mentioned this @ the last visit, Doc gave me some Cialis samples to try although I haven't used them yet.

I guess everyone is different but these seem to be common side effects.
