I have 2 mechanical heart valves. Aortic and Mitral. Can anyone tell me if I should be in the Covid-19 Vunerable group?

If you are UK based then you should receive a letter from the government telling you you are at risk.
Even if you aren't in the highest 'at risk' category - I would think that you probably do want to self isolate and if you can check with your GP - by phone
Welcome to the forum WobbleWoman. I would say that yes you would be in the at risk category. If I were you I’d err on the side of caution. Stay home and stay safe. Xxxx
Hello WobbleWoman,
A very warm welcome to the Care Community. Like sassy59 I would definitely consider you to be in the high risk category. Better to be overcautious I think in the current crisis. So do please take every precaution to help yourself, by staying at home to help keep yourself safe and well. Very best wishes.
