A Dublin mum-of-four diagnosed with severely high blood pressure said she could have been a "ticking time bomb".
Lynda Sutton, 59, warned people to check their blood pressure after her shock diagnosis. Lynda, who works as a receptionist for a gym, rarely went to the doctor and thought she was "invincible" due to her active lifestyle.
The Donabate woman said: "But really, I could have been a ticking time bomb. I thought I was healthy before, but I have completely changed my diet. I’m eating plenty of fruit and veg and no salt.
