Know your Numbers Week takes place from the 8th September to 14th September.

Right now, 5 million UK adults aged 18-64 may have undiagnosed high blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Many don’t even know it. That’s why getting a simple blood pressure check at home could literally be a lifesaver.

Blood pressure readings taken at home are usually a little lower than readings taken in a clinical setting such as GP surgery or hospital. We therefore promote home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and would encourage those who are able to purchase a machine to use at home. Blood Pressure UK hold a list of approved monitors: https://bihs.org.uk/blood_pressure_technology/find_a_professional_bp_monitor.aspx

If you have a monitor at home it is important that you use the blood pressure monitor properly. Blood Pressure UK has a video on how to take an automated blood pressure reading: https://bihs.org.uk/education/basic_training.aspx

When taking your blood pressure at home, you need to know what the numbers mean and when you should take action. Blood Pressure UK has some information on this: https://www.bloodpressureuk.org/your-blood-pressure/understanding-your-blood-pressure/what-do-the-numbers-mean/ We have also attached an advice leaflet on when you should take action and what this action should be.

It is recommended that patients get their blood pressure checked at the very least every 5-years. If you cannot purchase a blood pressure machine to use at home and have not had a blood pressure check in the last 5-years we would recommend you arrange a routine appointment with a Healthcare Support Worker to have this check carried out.
