💙 Tuesday Health Tip

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

If you're over 40, it's a good idea to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

You can have it checked at your GP practice or local pharmacy.

Looking after your heart starts with knowing your numbers.
