Your blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats.
Your blood pressure is continually changing depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, physical state and medication use.
Anyone can be at risk of developing high blood pressure, which can lead to heart damage, stroke and damage to vital organs. Many people don’t experience any symptoms, so a check-up is a really good way to make sure your heart stays in good shape.
Your Life Pharmacists can check your blood pressure levels as part of your overall health check, and they will discuss and explain the results with you in a private area. Your Blood pressure check will only take a few minutes, and your Life Pharmacist can record your results on a card for you to keep on hand, and share the results with your Doctor if you wish.
