Seafit will be offering a series of FREE Blood Pressure Checks and Health Checks along with health information at the following venues during May and June:
Getting your blood pressure checked is important because high blood pressure often has no symptoms but significantly increases the risk of serious conditions such as heart attack and stroke. Getting it checked is the only way to know if it is healthy. One in three adults in the UK live with high blood pressure, often without feeling unwell, and early detection allows people to take steps to protect their long-term heart health.

A Health Check, which includes measurements for blood cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure, can help identify your risk of developing certain health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or stroke. Many of the warning signs for risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol do not have symptoms. A Health Check can help you identify your risk and take actions to improve your health such as making small lifestyle changes or taking appropriate medication.
