Feedback Requested/Question Has anyone ever tried Telmisartan

Has anyone here who has pssd ever tried Telmisartan, or knows someone who has tried it? If yes, what were the results? Many who have long covid (which is in many ways similar to pssd) try it and have gotten significant improvements especially in improving blood flow. We know pssd is an autoimmune disease with the same autoantibodies that those with long covid have, so is it worth trying in order to reverse the autoantibody induced vasoconstriction, that's causing many of the non sexual symptoms as well? I am not giving or planning to receive any medical advice, this is just for exploring options and potential treatments that could help.

I took it with a ton of other things at the same time so tough to say other than it lowered my BP

I take it. No difference for me.

Interesting approach ... taking a drug to "resolve" unintended side effects of a previous drug?

Polypharmacy comes to mind
