Despite concerns expressed by some experts, common high blood pressure medications did not increase the risk of contracting 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19)—or of developing severe disease—in a study of 12,594 patients.
Published online May 1 in the New England Journal of Medicine, the study was launched in response to a March 17 joint statement issued by the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Heart Failure Society of America. It urgently called for research to answer a question raised by past studies: do high blood pressure (antihypertensive) medications worsen COVID-19 patient outcomes?
You're back 2G - hurray!!!! I havent been on much for a couple of days so maybe not your first post. Brilliant to see you here again and hope you are recovering well.
I have absolute faith you will get there 2G. Ive written on your earlier post that smokers apparently do quite well with Covid - extraordinary but actually quite logical when you think about it. See your other post.
Glad to see you back, am on Ramipril and had wondered about my likely demise, but as am on the fully shielding list, more likely to die of my existing condition, or boredom than anything else.
