🩺 A blood pressure test is a simple way to check if your blood pressure is too high or too low.

Blood pressure measures the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as it circulates around your body.

High blood pressure (hypertension)

High blood pressure can put extra strain on your arteries and vital organs.

This increases your risk of serious conditions such as:

  • ❤️ Heart attacks
  • 🧠 Strokes

📊 Why testing is important

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so you may not know you have it.

Regular checks are the only way to know your blood pressure level and can help prevent serious health problems.
