Heart Failure and shielding?

Apologies I can’t find this post about Pumping Marvellous and their letter to the government

Has anyone got any news on this? Also I have read a post recently about someone that their GP phoned them and told them to Shield for 3 months as they have Heart Failure

I didn’t think we were on the Shield group. I have HF and Pulmonary Hypertension as well as valve problems And Permanent AF

So a little confused

Of course I am staying in working from home, one walk a day but I do pick up my medicine and go once a week to local shop for a few things, other shopping got by my sister

Help with confusion anyone thank you

Was it this post? Have you spoken to your GP or tried to register on the government site? My husband has heart failure, his GP has told him to self isolate but he isn't in the highly vulnerable group. We do still go out for our evening walk healthunlocked.com/bhf/post...

Thank you Jo

Really sound advice

I am not going to put myself on the list I will be doing exactly the same. Although I am going out for a small walk at 7.30 in the morning to clear my head before I work, I am working from home.

How long have you had your heart problems and PH? You do seem to be coping very well. I think I do as well and intend to continue to do so. I know so little about PH but have read stories on the PH website of people who have had it for 15 years and a lady doing Zumba!
