Free BP tests in May
It’s May Measurement Month –the only month when you can check your pressure FREE at participating pharmacies.
Here’s why it’s so important for everyone to take the test:
- Hypertension does not discriminate, affecting people of all genders and ages - men, women, adults, and increasingly, teens
- High blood pressure (BP) is a leading cause of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Over time, it can damage vital organs, including your heart, brain and kidneys.1
- You feel fine. No symptoms. No warning. Hypertension is silent until it strikes, often with a heart attack or stroke!
When was the last time you checked your BP and do you know your numbers?
