Felt ‘uneasiness’ the next morning

When he woke up the next morning, he felt “uneasiness”, according to a study published in the Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine.

He was also vomiting, and his female friend urged him to seek medical help.

However, he dismissed her concerns, telling her he had experienced the symptoms previously.

But his condition got worse.

The man was taken to hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

Doctors found 300g mass of clotted blood

According to the study, the man died of a cerebrovascular haemorrhage, which is when oxygen delivery to the brain is reduced. In post-mortem scans, the doctors found a 300g mass of clotted blood. They concluded that a mixture of alcohol, medication, and pre-existing high-blood pressure led to his death.

The study’s authors stated that they published this rare case to raise awareness about the risks of taking erectile dysfunction medication without medical advice.

The deceased did not have a prescription for the medication, according to the Daily Mail.

Side effects of the drug include headaches, recurring upset stomach, blood pressure issues, flushing and nasal congestion.

However, according to a recent study, the drug can also have an unintended benefit.
