Up to 2.4 million people in England could be living with undiagnosed high blood pressure according to the NHS. The 'silent killer' often has no symptoms but if left untreated can lead to fatal heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease and vascular dementia.

New survey data shows that despite the majority of high blood pressure cases being asymptomatic, only one in 14 respondents (7%) thought the condition has no symptoms. The Get your Blood Pressure checked campaign has been launched to highlight that there are often no clues as to who has high blood pressure.

With the expansion of the blood pressure checks service Swettenham Chemists is able to check those aged 40 years and over to get a free blood pressure at your branch. There is no need to book. Call in and our pharmacy team will provide you with a free check. Get to know your blood pressure numbers today.
