Why Check Your Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure (hypertension) often has no symptoms but is a leading risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Regular checks can catch problems early when they are easiest to treat.

  • 1 in 3 adults in the UK has high blood pressure
  • Many people don't know they have it — there are often no symptoms
  • Early detection can prevent serious health conditions
  • A quick, painless check takes just 5 minutes
