Know Your Numbers Week
Posted on:
Let’s talk about BLOOD PRESSURE………do you know your numbers?
It’s estimated that a third of those living with high blood pressure are unaware! It’s not always clear what causes high blood pressure, but there are certain things that can increase the risk, such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, being overweight, and being inactive.
Catching Blood Pressure issues early can help you seek help and advice to reduce the risk of heart attack and strokes.
Some pharmacists offer free Blood pressure checks, also look out for Be Well posters with dates and locations for their FREE health checks around the community (poster to follow) Kirstie Be Well.
