Hi I am wondering how you know you have a leaky heart valve and what your symptoms are.

On your at risk question, i think we are all on the at risk list as you don’t know how it will affect you until you have at, after all if a young fit 21 year old has lost her life it proves to me that if you dont self isolation and practice social distancing then your playing Russian Rulet.

Keep well

See this from the BHF website for more information including explaining the difference between social distancing and self isolation.
