High blood pressure rarely has obvious warning signs, but it can seriously increase your risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney disease and other health problems.

This World Hypertension Day, 17 May, we’re encouraging everyone to take a simple but powerful step: check your blood pressure and know your numbers.

It only takes a few minutes, but it could make a life-changing difference. You can also help by reminding someone you care about to get checked too.

Because when it comes to high blood pressure, knowing your numbers could save your life.
