Blood Pressure Awareness Week September
High blood pressure affects over 16 million people in the UK. The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk of stroke, heart attack and heart failure.
High blood pressure rarely has any symptoms. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it measured.
The Blood Pressure Association is a UK registered charity, that provides information and support to people with high blood pressure. A fundamental part of thier work is to draw attention to the need to improve detection, management and treatment - and through the ongoing "Know Your Numbers!" campaign they are determined that everyone in the UK will realise the importance of knowing their blood pressure levels.
High blood pressure can be treated and sometimes prevented and there are many things that you can do to help lower it.
