Has this been discussed yet?

I’m approaching 72. Had a triple bypass in July last year. Also have under active thyroid. Am I in a high risk category?

Any of us with cardiovascular disease and/or high blood pressure are more vulnerable.I know you've been treated but the tendency for blocked arteries remains.It's a worrying time for us hearties.

Yes, definitely. A bypass treats coronary heart disease but doesn't cure it, sadly, although a healthy lifestyle will help.

Take care of yourself, wash your hands a lot and avoid crowds!

Never use google anyway for the privacy issues and rip-off business practices. There are other more ethical search engines.
