🧠💓Mental health & high blood pressure – Is there a link?

The answer is yes!

Stress, anxiety, and depression can all affect your heart health, and high blood pressure can in turn impact your wellbeing.

Looking after your mental health is an important part of looking after your body too.

Know Your Numbers and Take Action

Once you know what your blood pressure numbers are, it's important to understand what to do next if they're high.

Contact your GP and discuss your blood pressure reading, they'll be able to advise on next steps.

Flu cases are higher than usual for this time of year. Here are some things you can do to stop the spread.

Getting vaccinated is still the best protection.

Aged 65 or over? Have a long term health condition?

Conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart or kidney disease and other serious or long-term conditions can put you at greater risk from the flu.

If you’re immunosuppressed, you need to get your COVID seasonal vaccination and an annual flu jab now. Your close household contacts are also eligible for their flu jab.

It’s the time of year that flu can put you in danger and potentially in hospital.

Check if you’re eligible for your flu jab or COVID vaccination.

Flu
+ people in a clinical risk group
+ pregnant women
+ health and social care workers and unpaid carers
+ household contacts of people with immunosuppression
+ 2 and 3 year old school aged children

COVID
+ people aged 75 and over
+ immunosuppressed

Contact your GP surgery or local pharmacy to book.
