We see so many friendly faces every week here at Ash Vale Pharmacy. Some pop in to pick up prescriptions, others for travel vaccines or quick advice. But there’s one simple check many people still don’t think about — their blood pressure.
If you’re over 40, or have a family history of high blood pressure, we really encourage you to stop by for a free NHS blood pressure check. It only takes a few minutes, and you don’t need to book.
Why You Should Get Your Blood Pressure Checked
High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it usually shows no symptoms. You might feel fine but the numbers could say otherwise. Left unchecked, it can lead to serious health problems like heart disease or stroke.
This free test can catch it early and give you peace of mind.
