Comment:
As soon as I take Xatral XL my heart starts to beat fast, I had short of breath and even in very low effort my heart starts to beat 150-160 or more bpm. All symptoms disappear on the day I do not take this pill.

After on this for 45 days, I believe it has helped my urination stream somewhat. No side effects that I can tell. Have done the "Turp" procedure 5 years earlier and prostate has enlarged to same as previous. Can't tell any difference in sexual performance.

Comment:
Started on flomax but didn't like side effects. Take 5mg Cialis in the morning and Alfuzosin after evening meal. Works great for BPH and minor ED. No side effects so far. No dizziness. Much better urine flow and erections. Also changed to a low oxalate diet and am drinking more fluids because I also had problem with bladder stones. So far so good.
