High blood pressure can occur with little to no indication leading to various dangerous health conditions.
Around one in four brits suffer from the condition, but many not realise it, as it "rarely has noticeable symptoms". If left untreated, the "silent disease" raises the risks of serious and sometimes deadly issues like strokes and heart attacks.
When elevated too high, blood pressure puts extra strain on the body, particularly the blood vessels and vital organs like the heart and brain. The only way to figure out your blood pressure is to get it checked by a professional, or invest in an at home blood pressure machine.
