Why it pays to know your blood pressure numbers
It is one of the simplest checks there is, and one of the most worthwhile.
High blood pressure is often called the silent problem, because it rarely causes any symptoms. Many people have raised blood pressure without knowing it, which is exactly why a regular check is so useful.
Why it matters
Over time, blood pressure that stays too high puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. The reassuring part is that it is easy to check, and there is a lot that can be done once you know your numbers.
What a check involves
It takes only a couple of minutes. A member of our team takes a reading, and our pharmacist explains what it means in plain language. A single high reading is not always a concern, as blood pressure naturally moves through the day, so we look at the bigger picture.
Just call in to Lynch's Pharmacy on Lower Main Street and ask a member of our team. If your reading suggests you should follow up, our pharmacist will advise you on the next step.
Who should check?
Knowing your numbers is worthwhile for everyone, and particularly if you are over 40, have a family history of high blood pressure, or have been told to keep an eye on it.
