Why Take a Blood Pressure Test?

A Blood Pressure Test is a simple, non-invasive way to check if your blood pressure is in a healthy range. High blood pressure (hypertension) often has no symptoms but increases your risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. Regular testing helps with early detection and management, giving you peace of mind and the chance to act early.

  • Quick, painless test using an arm cuff
  • Detects high or low blood pressure before symptoms appear
  • Helps reduce risks of heart disease, stroke and kidney issues
  • Available at over 350 UK venues

Why Test Your Blood Pressure?

High blood pressure is known as the "silent killer" because it rarely causes symptoms but can lead to serious health problems if left untreated, including:

  • Heart disease - higher risk of heart attack and heart failure
  • Stroke - damage to blood vessels in the brain
  • Kidney disease - harm to the kidney's filtering system
  • Dementia - some studies link hypertension to a greater risk of dementia
