my husbands head feels like it is going to pop when he takes any of the pill medication for ED.

What are other avenues to take. He dosen't like to take the Cialis, Viagra, Levitra because his head feels like it is going to pop. His eyes feel like they are bulging and he gets plugged up like a cold. What would be the next best alternative?

Cindy - These are common side effects of the ED medications currently available. I am curious about whether he has taken the lowest doses of these medications, e.g. Viagra - 25mgs, Levitra - 2.5mgs. If he hasn't tried the lowest doses then he should ask his doctor to give him samples of those. The next best thing probably depends on the severity of his ED symptoms, his general, and the relevant relationship issues. Hopefully he has seen a urologist but if he hasn't that would be the next step.
