From Live Life Aberdeenshire
Autumn Health Watch
We want to help take the pressure off the NHS by providing free blood pressure checks in our sports venues and libraries across Aberdeenshire. Our Health and Wellbeing Instructors are advisors and can provide some basic lifestyle advice and signpost you for further support. They will also be encouraging everyone to participate in home blood pressure monitoring to put you back in the driver’s seat and save lives.
High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other illnesses. Once you know your numbers you can get support to bring your blood pressure under control and prevent these diseases. About one third of people in the UK have high blood pressure but most don’t know it. There are not always symptoms so the only way to know is to have it checked.
You can have this done on Friday 27th September – Stonehaven Leisure Centre (13:00 – 15:00)
