Strokes and high blood pressure

Hypertension (raised blood pressure) is responsible for many strokes. This is why detecting and treating high blood pressure is so important.

Figures from the UK suggest that as many as one in 5 strokes happen because raised blood pressure has not been kept under good enough control.

The message is clear.

  • Find out if your blood pressure is normal.
  • If you have been put on tablets for high blood pressure, make sure that you don't run out of them.
  • Don't forget to take them.
  • Have regular checks to make sure the tablets are controlling your blood pressure adequately.
