HAVING A TEST IS QUICK & EASY & IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
A blood pressure test is the only way to find out if your blood pressure is too high or too low,
most people's symptoms aren't obvious.
Blood Pressure is the strength in which your blood pushes on the sides of your arteries as it's pumped around your body.
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) can put a strain on your arteries and organs, which can increase your risk of developing serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes
Low Blood Pressure (hypotension) isn't usually as serious, although it can cause dizziness and fainting
Book an appointment any day of the week, or drop in Wednesday 2pm-4pm to get your blood pressure checked by a member of our Pharmacy Team
If you are diagnosed with either high or low blood pressure, a pharmacist will be able to discuss the results with you and your best next steps forward
If medication is prescribed by your doctor, then our pharmacists can help you become more confident in using the medication, both safety and effectively
