You're concerned about your blood pressure and want to get it checked.
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common condition where the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. This can happen for various reasons, and often doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms. However, left untreated, high blood pressure can increase your risk of serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Early detection and management are key to preventing these complications and maintaining good health.

Ignore high blood pressure readings: High blood pressure, even if you don't feel symptoms, can lead to serious health complications.
Add extra salt to your food: Most of the sodium we consume comes from processed foods. Avoid adding extra salt at the table.
Eat excessive saturated and unhealthy fats: These can contribute to hardening of arteries and increase blood pressure risk.
Drink sugary beverages: Sugary drinks can contribute to weight gain and increase blood pressure risk.
Become discouraged: Managing high blood pressure is a lifelong process. There may be setbacks, but focus on long-term healthy habits.
