Services - Blood Pressure Testing

The measurement of blood pressure is simple, but its interpretation often depends on your other risk factors.

Those people who are overweight, have high alcohol intakes, high salt intake or are physically inactive are at higher risk.

Over 70 percent of people with high blood pressure have risk factors they can modify to reduce their blood pressure. Others may need to be on medication prescribed by your doctor.

Either way, it is worth treating blood pressure as it is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease and renal failure.

Be sure to come in to see us for a confidential discussion and a blood pressure test. For more information ask for a fact card or see the High Blood Pressure fact card on this website.
