Hi everyone, been a few days so I thought I would check in with you all. How are you doing? Is the lockdown getting to you, or are you managing to stay positive?

Hello everyone,
In this difficult time for public health fueled by the coronavirus, it is important to be well informed about the health recommendations, especially when one is chronically ill and undergoing treatment.
For now, it is not exactly known how the COVID-19 infection affects people with hypertension. Some scientists have suggested that ACE inhibitors and ARBs increase the chances of severe Covid-19 infections, while others refute these claims citing lack of evidence.
Have you received any special instructions from your doctor regarding your care? Have you taken any specific precautions? Do you have any advice for others?
This discussion is yours to share any thoughts or questions you may have.
Take care,
Courtney
