Burp

I think Viagra gives me heartburn.

Viagra gives me an incredibly bad headache. Cialis is pretty nice tho'. :)

Cialis gets the bear stamp of approval

I think I'll ask my urologist about Cialis. Maybe it will have fewer side-effects for me. It would be nice not to have the 4-hour countdown.

Another side-effect I get with Viagra is facial flushing. It's not that big a deal, but it feels like I'm blushing (or my face is sunburned) for 4 hours or so.

The flushing is an effect of the buildup of nitric oxide (because the Viagra blocks the enzyme that breaks it down), and it's a common symptom - about 10% of people that take Viagra.

The reflux symptoms are interesting - physiologically I could see how it might have an effect, but it's not a known common side effect.

Keep in mind that the symptoms you mention are class effects, and you might have the same symptoms with tadalafil (Cialis) as well.
