Does antihistamines drugs causes weak erection and lowers sexual libido?

Hello, I am 67 years old and, logically, I have problems with erection. Beside that, I am in a good health, I eat healthy too, and from time to time, engage myself in mild physical activities (I was an active sportsman). The only thing I have problems with is allergy and for that I take antihistamines, so I would like to know does antihistamines drugs cause weak erection and lowers sexual libido?

Antihistamines are type of drugs that blocks histamine receptors thus disabling its release (he is an important mediator of inflammation). They cannot affect histamine that is already in the system. Beside this effect, they have anti cholinergic effect and also makes depression of CNS (some of them causes sleep). I know that antihistamines should not affect erection and sexual libido. They could affect urinary retention.

Hii Iam a 31 years old unmarried man. Even Iam finding weak erections after taking antihistamines for cold. I found this problem exactly from the time I started taking antihistamines. So I stopped taking it and still I have erectile dysfunction problem. I don't know what to do now. Iam just waiting since a month hoping that it will become okay by itself but I find no improvement. Please help!! How did you take care of the problem?
