“HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CAN BE SILENT.”
High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, which is why the NHS recommends getting blood pressure checked. According to NHS guidance, untreated high blood pressure can increase the risk of serious conditions including heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease.
❤️ YOU CAN FEEL FINE… AND STILL HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
No obvious warning.
No dramatic symptoms.
Sometimes, no symptoms at all.
That's why high blood pressure is something worth knowing about — not just something to think about when you feel unwell.
🩺 A simple blood pressure check can provide valuable information about your health.
Things that can contribute to high blood pressure include:
🧂 Eating too much salt
🚬 Smoking
🍺 Drinking too much alcohol
🏃 Not getting enough physical activity
⚖️ Being overweight
🧬 Family history and age
And when high blood pressure goes untreated, it can increase the risk of serious health problems.
So here's today's reminder:
Don't wait for your body to shout before you listen.
Know your numbers.
Attend your health checks.
And speak to a healthcare professional if you're concerned. 💙
