NHS Blood Pressure check
What is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)?
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a silent yet serious condition that forces your heart to work harder to pump blood through your body. Left untreated, it can lead to hardened arteries, heart disease, strokes, and other circulatory problems.
Understanding your blood pressure is crucial to preventing these risks. At Glenfield Pharmacy Clinic, we offer the NHS Blood Pressure Check to help identify hypertension early so you can take steps to protect your health.
- Understand your blood pressure readings
- Recommendations on how to manage or improve your blood pressure
- If needed, we’ll ensure you receive the appropriate follow-up care with your GP
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of premature deaths in England, with hypertension being the primary risk factor. Alarmingly, 5.5 million people in the UK are living with undiagnosed high blood pressure.
Early detection through a simple check at Glenfield Pharmacy Clinic can help reduce your risk of serious conditions. If hypertension is identified, treatments via your GP can significantly lower your chances of developing CVD.
You qualify for the NHS Blood Pressure Check if:
- You are 40 or older and do not have a current diagnosis of hypertension.
- You are under 40 but have a family history of hypertension (at the pharmacist's discretion).
- Your GP has referred you for a blood pressure check.
