⚠️ Could you be one of the missing millions?

High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. You may feel completely well while it is placing additional strain on your heart, blood vessels and other organs.

The good news is that checking your blood pressure is quick, simple and could help identify a problem before it becomes more serious.

You may be able to have your blood pressure checked at a local community pharmacy, through your GP practice or as part of an NHS Health Check.
