Introduction
Blood Pressure at Home
Why do I need to monitor BP? What happens if I don’t?
All adults over 40 years old are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least every five years.
High blood pressure rarely has any symptoms which is why it is called the ‘silent killer’. It can significantly raise your risk of a life-threatening heart attack, heart failure, or stroke, and the only way to know you have the condition is to get your blood pressure measured.
Checking your blood pressure is quick, simple and painless, and it could save your life. So, if you don’t know what your blood pressure is, Make time to find out.
