This Saturday is World Hypertension Day!!!! A great reminder to check in on your blood pressure and your health.

What is hypertension?
It’s the medical term for high blood pressure, and it means your heart is working harder than it should to pump blood. Over time, this puts extra strain on your blood vessels, which can lead to serious problems like stroke.

How to stay on top of it:
*Get your blood pressure checked regularly
*Eat healthy and cut back on salt
*Be active
*Avoid alcohol and stay smoke-free
*Keep a healthy weight

Keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range is one of the best ways to reduce your stroke risk—and feel better every day.

Today is World Asthma Day 2025. 1 in 9 Australian experience asthma and sadly, more than 400 Australians die of asthma each year. There is currently no cure, but in most cases, asthma can be well managed. Having asthma means you have sensitive airways which can become inflamed or swollen when exposed to certain triggers. Asthma triggers are different for different people. Some triggers are avoidable (like cigarette smoke or perfumes), while others are more difficult to avoid (such as weather changes and pollen).

Please speak to Athena or Pauline if you have questions regarding your asthma management, need medication advice or would like to review your inhaler technique.
