Yes my friend; good question too.
Viagra aka Sildenafil (Revatio) is used to improve the ability to exercise in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; high blood pressure in the vessels carrying blood to the lungs, causing shortness of breath, dizziness, and tiredness).
Sildenafil is in a class of medications called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors.
Sildenafil treats PAH by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs to allow blood to flow easily.
(from medlineplus.gov)
"Sildenafil citrate, sold under the names Viagra, Revatio and under various other names, is a drug used to treat male erectile dysfunction (impotence) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Its primary competitors on the market are tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra)."
