Heart patients and Covid - please help

Can a (vaccinated) adult who is a heart patient and diabetic survive covid 19?

I am not medically qualified, but I would assume they would be promptly offered one of the new drugs that assist recovery.

My relative did. Heart surgery and she only knew she had covid because they tested. Completely asymptomatic. Doing fine.

Not quite the same but I’m aware of someone with a heart transplant, so immunosuppressed, who is also diabetic that had covid and survived. He did go into hospital, spent 2 days on oxygen before being discharged, this was before the antiviral treatments that are now given to high risk patients too.

Is it you or a loved one? Must be such a worry for you.

I know someone with heart problems and diabetic who was completely asymptomatic with it. It probably depends how severe their health condition was pre getting covid. No 2 patients are going to be the same.

of course they can! Plenty of diabetic people with heart probs survived it before jabs came along so their chances are now much much better if vaccinated. But there are never any guarantees in life hence hopefully your family member is getting the appropriate medical support.

DH has been Type I for 30 years, now in renal failure, had a triple bypass 5 years ago and was barely affected by Covid – it does seem to be the luck of the draw (genetics?). I was far worse with Covid than he was!
