On Saturday 16 April you will find us in Windsor Central Station offering FREE Blood Pressure checks to the passing public. Our Know Your Blood Pressure day helps people to understand the link between high blood pressure and stroke, other risk factors and what they can do to reduce their risk of having a stroke.
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force that blood puts on the walls of your arteries when it is pumped around your body by your heart. It is measured with two readings – when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when it relaxes (diastolic pressure).
Do you know your blood pressure?
High blood pressure is a contributing factor to 54% of strokes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke that we can control, yet it has no symptoms and can affect people of all ages and lifestyles.
Measuring blood pressure is quick, simple and painless.
