Register today to run the British London 10k for the BPA (Sunday July 6th 2008)

High blood pressure affects over 16 million people in the UK. The higher your blood pressure, the greater your risk of stroke, heart attack and heart failure. High blood pressure rarely has any symptoms. The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it measured.

The Blood Pressure Association is a UK registered charity, that provides information and support to people with high blood pressure. A fundamental part of our work is to draw attention to the need to improve detection, management and treatment - and through our ongoing "Know Your Numbers!" campaign we are determined that everyone in the UK will realise the importance of knowing their blood pressure levels.

High blood pressure can be treated and sometimes prevented and there are many things that you can do to help lower it. For more information, please click here.
