my partner is 62 years old, overweight - especially large santa claus belly, and I have just learned he is taking propranolol (spelling) and seems to have a nearly impossible time achieving orgasm, although he is easily aroused, and is able to maintain an erection pretty long time. and he has dreadful sleep apnea -- I am used to the snoring but am afraid for him -- since he sounds as if he is gasping for air . he is also a former smoker, so his chewing a lot of nicotine gum and I noticed an advair inhaler in his medicine cabinet too. he does not like to talk about anything medical about himself. thank you,
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that he has retrograde ejaculation. In this instance the semen enters the bladder instead of going through the urethra during ejaculation. Sleep apnea can be concerning, it is caused by temporary closure of the airway. The use of a CPAP machine may help him. His doctor may be able to refer his for assessment and treatment. The inhaler may indicate that there is a history of asthma or COPD. You may want to discuss any relevant medical issues with him. I hope this helps
