I believe that a particular medication for high blood pressure is being investigated as a possible accelerator of Covid-19. It is the angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor medications, that is the ACE inhibitors. Usually end with the suffix ‘pril’ as in Lisinopril. Check with doctor!
So it’s not the high BP, it’s the drug[s].
Ah - didn’t know that - thanks for that information.
Good luck with that. I think that it might be better check with Dr. Google. I took Lisinopril for years, until I got fed up with the dry, hacking cough, a known side effect of that drug. I eventually weaned myself of all permanent prescriptions.

The good docs reminded their patients of this possible reaction.
Also, they warned us not to use NSAIDS to reduce fever.
One of sons was not diagnose/tested for this virus. His FP in late Feb. told him not to take Advil to reduce his fever..
