If you have a history of high blood pressure or are concerned about your blood pressure, it is important to prioritise regular blood pressure checks. Monitoring your blood pressure at regular intervals helps to track any changes and ensures timely intervention if levels become elevated. This proactive approach not only helps in managing existing hypertension but also in preventing potential complications such as heart disease, stroke, or kidney damage that can result from prolonged high blood pressure.
Hypertension is associated with being overweight, smoking, stress, low vitamin D levels, low potassium levels, and other lifestyle factors. The primary consequence of long-term hypertension is strain on your cardiovascular system, including your heart, which increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Sometimes, the doctor will also recommend a full blood profile test to check your cholesterol, kidney, and liver function. Management can include lifestyle changes and medication. Subsequent regular testing may be available at a reduced fee after discussion with the clinic manager.
Regular blood pressure testing is crucial for the early detection of hypertension (high blood pressure), a condition that often presents no symptoms but can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
By identifying and managing high blood pressure early, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other complications associated with hypertension.
Blood pressure is the force of circulating blood against the walls of arteries. It’s measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and recorded as two numbers: systolic (when the heart beats) and diastolic (when the heart rests between beats), like 120/80 mmHg. Normal blood pressure ensures steady blood flow to organs and tissues for oxygen and nutrients. High or low blood pressure can signal health issues and needs medical attention.
