The NHS ‘Get Your Blood Pressure Checked’ campaign launched today, and has the following primary messages:
● High blood pressure usually has no symptoms.
● You could be one of millions living with high blood pressure without knowing it.
● An estimated 4.2 million adults in England currently have undiagnosed high blood pressure.
● Left untreated, high blood pressure can significantly increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease and vascular dementia.
