Blood Pressure Checks

Blood Pressure Checks at Granshaws Chemist

Keeping track of your blood pressure is crucial for maintaining good health. At Granshaws Chemist, we offer quick and convenient blood pressure checks to help you monitor your health and reduce the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

Why Are Blood Pressure Checks Important?

High blood pressure, or hypertension, often has no obvious symptoms but can lead to severe health complications if left untreated. Regular blood pressure checks are essential for detecting any changes early, enabling you to take preventative measures or receive treatment before the condition worsens. According to the NHS, adults over 40 should have their blood pressure checked at least every five years, and more frequently if their risk of developing high blood pressure is higher.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you visit Granshaws Chemist for a blood pressure check, you will be greeted by our trained healthcare professionals who will guide you through the process. The check is quick, painless, and involves placing a cuff around your arm, which inflates to measure your blood pressure. The process takes just a few minutes, and you will receive your results immediately. Our team will then explain what your readings mean and offer advice on lifestyle changes or further steps if your blood pressure is outside the normal range.

Who Should Get Regular Blood Pressure Checks?

• Adults Aged 40 and Over: It is recommended to check your blood pressure at least every five years.
• People with Pre-Existing Conditions: Such as diabetes, kidney disease, or a history of heart problems.
• Pregnant Women: Regular monitoring is vital to prevent complications such as pre-eclampsia.
• Anyone with a Family History of Hypertension: Regular checks can help detect and manage potential issues early.
