Please take a moment to watch this important message from Dr Joe Mills, an NHS cardiologist working in Cheshire and Merseyside. 🩺

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so most people don’t realise they have it – but it can be deadly if left untreated, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and vascular dementia.

If you’re 40 or over, or have a family history of high blood pressure, it’s important to get checked. You can get a free NHS blood pressure check at your local pharmacy, with no appointment needed – 90% of pharmacies offer this service.

Don’t gamble with your health!

UTIs are common, but recognising the symptoms early can help prevent complications. Look out for burning during urination, frequent urges to p*e, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and tummy or back pain. If symptoms persist, see a pharmacist or book with your GP. More info: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-tract-infections-utis/

Men, if you notice changes such as painful urination, lumps, itching, or bumps on the p***s, it’s often nothing serious — but it’s always best to check. Read about what to look out for and when to get advice: https://patient.info/news-and-features/p***s-problems-you-shouldnt-ignore

Stay informed, stay healthy.
