I bought the Kardia 6L when I saw it cost way less than my copay for my previous EKG and sent my fresh EKG to my cardiologist to find out if I had any of the odd rhythms that are a contraindication for HCQ. I passed that test. She said that no doctor would prescribe it for me because of the FDA status. I'll find someone.
Meanwhile I'm taking D and zinc supplements. I've gotten my weight down 65# in the past 2 years. Riding the exercise bike 1/2 hr. daily. I'm doing extreme distancing until I'm confident with "expert" recommendations and acceptable risk level.

I'd also be getting plenty of sunshine (vitamin D).
