Why it matters

The silent risk factor

Around one in three UK adults has high blood pressure — and many don't know. Left untreated, it's a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes and kidney problems. A five-minute check is one of the simplest, most valuable things you can do for your long-term health.

You're aged 40 or over
Family history of high blood pressure
Feeling regularly tired or run down
Frequent headaches or dizziness
Overweight or less active than you'd like
