Is anyone taking hydroxychloroquine with a heart condition. Before i had heart attack and stents in July i was periodically on this drug for sarcoidosis and did quiet well. since covid it seems to have had negative press when using in people with known heart conditions. Any thoughts ? Thankyou.

The BHF have a web page about Hydroxychloroquine:

It mentions heart issues about halfway down. I think this is something you need to discuss with your GP/cardiologist as there do seem to be potential issues. For a quick initial response you could call the BHF nurses.
