Under pressure - How's yours?

Is your blood pressure under 120/80mmHg? If you don’t know your numbers, here’s why it really matters.

· According to Blood Pressure UK (the Blood Pressure Association), every day in the UK, 350 people have a stroke or heart attack that could have been prevented.

· 1 in 2 strokes and heart attacks are the result of high blood pressure.

· 1 in 2 adults with high blood pressure don’t know they have it or aren’t receiving treatment.

· 6 million people in the UK alone have high blood pressure and don’t know it.

· £2.1 billion – that’s how much high blood pressure costs the NHS every year.
