We love your heart. Get a FREE blood pressure check this month!

According to the British Heart Foundation, there are around 5.5 million people in the UK living with undiagnosed high blood pressure.

Known as the silent killer, high BP doesn’t always have symptoms. If you do have symptoms, these can include, headaches, chest pain, dizziness, blurred vision and many more.

Impact of high blood pressure on your health

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against your artery wall as your heart pumps. Normal blood pressure keeps your body functioning properly, high blood pressure (hypertension) puts extra strain on your heart blood vessels and organs.

If left unchecked, hypertension can lead to:

  • Heart disease: including heart attacks or heart failure
  • Stroke: high blood pressure is a leading cause of strokes
  • Kidney damage: over time, hypertension can impair kidney function
  • Vision problems: increased pressure can damage blood vessels in your eyes

Weight Management:

If you have a BMI over 25, weight loss is one of the most effective ways to lower blood pressure, here’s how:

  • Reduced heart strain: as you lose weight, your heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood.
  • Improves artery health: weight loss reduces the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, improving blood flow.
  • Balance hormones: losing weight can help regulate hormones that control blood pressure.
  • Enhances medication effectiveness: if you are already taking blood pressure medication, losing weight can make the treatment more effective.
