A member asked:
Are cardiac patients who also have diabetes and/or hypertension at greater risk of dying from covid-19?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Risks are increased: Poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension and some cardiac conditions can each increase risk for more severe illness from COVID 19. If they are combined in the same patient, that is even more of a concern.

Yes: Any and all of the disorders you mentioned increase the risk of death, as does obesity. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
