AF and Corobavirus

[Mickb61]

I have AF and high blood pressure and dont know if I should be self isolating

Any suggestions?

I heard that NHS are sending out a text to anyone in that category this week. But there’s so many grey areas. I’m sure they’ll play safe and will scare a few of us. I’ve got an LAD stent and partly restricted flow according to ECG - my partner is pregnant and due in June. But I’ve also got a son coming back from university today. How the **** we isolate in reality I’ve no idea.

Hi DavidG1971. You don’t need to self isolate just practice social distancing. It might come to self isolating in the future though. If you’re son is OK (you could keep him holed up in a room to self isolate for a week to see if he develops anything if you’re really worried) and you restrict your contact with others (and he does too) then you stand a much better chance of coming out unscathed. gov.uk/government/publicati...
