Blood pressure check
A proper seated reading, with time to explain the numbers.
High blood pressure has no symptoms until it does damage, which is why it is worth checking even when you feel completely well. We take a proper seated reading after you have rested, and we keep a record so you can track it over time. If your reading is high we will tell you honestly whether it needs a doctor now or watching over a few weeks.
Before you come
Avoid coffee and rushing just before. Sit for five minutes first, and we will give you that time.
