Know your numbers!
Readings less than '120 over 80' are what everyone should be aiming for, to reduce risk of stroke and heart attack caused by high blood pressure.
Unfortunately, for 16 million people in the UK, the numbers are higher, and not only that, 5.3 million of them are unaware that they have high blood pressure at all. Unknowingly, they’re putting themselves at risk of a stroke, heart attack and other related conditions.
You could be one of them. That’s why the Blood Pressure Association and ‘Sort It Portsmouth’ would like every adult in Portsmouth to have a free blood pressure check during Know Your Numbers Week.
We’d like to find these missing millions, reduce their health risk, and encourage them into a healthier lifestyle.
