Did you know that dementia is not actually a disease itself?

Dementia is a collection of symptoms that result from damage to the brain caused by different diseases, such as Alzheimer's.

These symptoms vary according to the part of the brain that is damaged.

Different types of dementia can affect people differently, and everyone will experience symptoms in their own way.

However, there are some common early symptoms that may appear some time before a diagnosis of dementia.

📢 This month, we’re encouraging you to take part in the Know Your Numbers campaign by checking your blood pressure 👉 https://bit.ly/CIOSKnowYourNumbers25

🫀 High blood pressure often has no symptoms but can lead to serious health problems like strokes and heart attacks.

✅ You can get a free check at your local pharmacy, GP surgery and even borrow a monitor from your library to use at home. You can also catch our friendly team offering free blood pressure checks at community Know Your Numbers events this month.

⌚️ It only takes a few minutes to check your blood pressure, and it could be lifesaving.

🥦🚶 Knowing and understanding your numbers is key - an ideal blood pressure is under 120/80, and even small lifestyle changes, like being more active, eating healthily, and quitting smoking, can make a big difference.

❤ If you’re looking to make healthy changes to your lifestyle, we’re here to support you 👉 https://www.healthycornwall.org.uk/make-a-change/

A major partnership is launching a public health communication campaign across Cornwall and Isles of Scilly this September encouraging at least 10,000 people to get their blood pressure checked over the next 12 months
