Is it ever too soon?
Let’s enter the world of the urban myth where reality and fiction collide in a happy mixture of creative energy. There are so many versions of the story about the man who dies on top of his female partner. It feeds into the common sense understanding that sexual activity is physical activity that raises the heart rate. If the man has recently had a stroke or heart attack, it’s a good hook that he’s likely to die if he tries sex too soon. The rest of the story about the erection itself can be left to another blog post.
The other factor to consider is that Levitra or one of the other PDE5 inhibitors cannot be used if the man is taking any of the heart medications containing nitrates. The combination produces a sudden drop in blood pressure that be dangerous.
That said, we need to get to the reality of the problem. Just what are the risks if you resume sexual activity after having a stroke or you’re recovering from a recent heart attack? The good news is that both men and women who have survived a stroke or heart attack are able to get back to sex almost immediately.
So what can you expect? Apart from the fun and pleasure, you can expect to end up a little breathless. You may be able to feel your heart beating fast. Both are perfectly normal responses to physical activity and are nothing to worry about. Scientists have measured the amount of effort involved. . .
You really have to feel sorry for some scientists. Some of them get really thankless jobs. Imagine having to measure energy output during sex against other forms of exercise. You wonder how they manage to summon up the enthusiasm to come into work.
Anyway, after years of study, these scientists have finally admitted that the orgasm is using the same amount of energy as climbing up a flight of stairs or walking briskly for a few minutes. What a let-down! How can something that feels so great only be using such a small amount of energy? But, assuming they’re right, that’s never going to put too much of a strain on a heart even if it’s recently been in the wars. Now comes the boring statistics. Although a heart attack is the number one killer in many countries, the odds of a person with a heart condition having a fatal heart attack during sexual intercourse are around one in 500,000.
So, unless you’re taking a drug containing a nitrate, there’s no reason why you can’t get back in the saddle when the mood takes you. Levitra will overcome any physical difficulties and you can be back to your old ways. Indeed, sex is a great way of improving your world view. With optimism, survival rates improve dramatically. Aim for a long life. Start sex as soon as you and your partner feel like celebrating your survival.
