Understanding Your Blood Pressure

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

If you’ve recently been told you have high blood pressure (hypertension), or you’re worried about your blood pressure and want to learn how to manage it, we’ve put together a short video that explains what high blood pressure is, why it matters, what you can do at home (diet, activity, lifestyle) and further resources that may be of help.

Before you watch the video, please complete this short form.

This helps us:

  • make sure we have the right information on your record (for example ethnicity and contact details),
  • understand who is using this resource

After you submit the form, the video will be available to watch straight away.

This is not a diagnostic or emergency service. If you are feeling very unwell right now (for example chest pain, severe shortness of breath, weakness down one side, or vision changes), please seek urgent medical help.
