Come along and chat to the PCN team about how you can stay well, while we take a quick blood pressure check for you.
A blood pressure test checks if your blood pressure is healthy, or if it’s high or low.
Blood pressure is the term used to describe the strength with which your blood pushes on the sides of your arteries as it’s pumped around your body.
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is not usually a problem, although it can cause dizziness and fainting in some people.
High blood pressure (hypertension) can increase your risk of developing serious problems, such as heart attacks and strokes, if it’s not treated.
Having this quick test is the only way to find out what your blood pressure is – and it could save your life.
