Well Pharmacy is inviting people to #thebigsqueeze in conjunction with May Measure Month, and World Hypertension Day on May 17, by getting a free blood pressure check.
George Sandhu, Well Pharmacy Deputy Superintendent Pharmacist said “May Measurement Month is a global blood pressure screening awareness campaign. The aim is to raise awareness of the dangers posed by elevated BP and hypertension. May 17 is World Hypertension Day, and a perfect time to take control and get your blood pressure checked.
“We are delighted to be supporting this campaign. Hypertension (more commonly known as high blood pressure) can cause a range of health issues. Worryingly, it often comes with no symptoms, which is why it is vital to know if your blood pressure is higher people don’t have any symptoms of high blood pressure so having their blood pressure checked is the only way to find out. People can come into any of our Well Pharmacies across England and have their blood pressure checked. The theme for 2023 is Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer – and knowing your number is one of the most important things people can do.
