Is Your Number Up?
1 in 2 heart attacks & strokes are linked to high blood pressure.
Check your blood pressure to know your numbers.
We are running our new blood pressure campaign to raise awareness of untreated high blood pressure, which is often known as The Silent Killer.
High blood pressure often has no visible signs or symptoms. It is therefore important to get your blood pressure checked, get treatment if necessary, and change your lifestyle if your blood pressure numbers are high.
Check out our Blood Pressure Campaign page to find out more about high blood pressure and how you can get yours checked to find out if your number's up.
